Hi,
I've seen various people post similar messages, but I havent seen anybody describe a solution to the problem, so I'll just chime in with another data point.
I've been having problems ever since I bought and installed a new Quantum 1.2gig IDE Fireball. All the problems seem to occur when transferring large amounts of data between the drives. Specifically, the following command:
find . | cpio pd /usr2
where the find is on the old disk (Maxtor 7850AV) and /usr2 is the new disk, causes errors of the following sorts:
Mar 2 14:04:17 eddie kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } Mar 2 14:04:17 eddie kernel: ide0: reset: success
Initially the Maxtor was the master on the primary IDE channel, and the Quantum the slave. The resets still occur when the Quantum is the master and the Maxtor is the slave.
System Config: Pentium-75, 8Mb RAM. Triton Chipset. Linux 1.3.69 libc 4.6.27
