Hi. I have Abit BX6 rev.2.0 ver.HJ, Mendocino 83.333*5.5 MHz, egcs-1.1.2, binutils-2.9.1.0.23, RH50+updates (a lot)...
problem #1: my IBM DTTA 351350 IDE-disk isn't detected in a sane way.
Yes, this hdparm and kernel output looks very messy. One problem that I have pointed out earlier is that both kernel and hdparm-3.5 contain the very ugly expression
*(int *)&id->cur_capacity0
which is wrong on various architectures because of endianness assumptions, and also because cur_capacity0 is not aligned on an integer boundary.
These are bugs in hdparm-3.5 and the 2.2.9 kernel, easily solved because the fragments of code that contain this expression are completely bogus (look at the remapping 2557/255/63 -> 13572/1020/63 that hdparm invents!) and should just be deleted.
But your problem is probably caused by something else. Hmm, the model number suggests a 13.5 GB disk.
RawCHS=40768/16/63 and CurCHS=2557/255/63 belong to a 21 GB disk.
CurSects=872152947, and LBA CHS=13572/1020/63 Remapping, LBAsects=833818160 belong to a 400+ GB disk.
Model={sM-wwws=37s3u2p, FwRev=T5Gosw3q, SerialNo=WWrww3q663w
kernel: hdd: [rM-wwwq=37s353p, ATA DISK drive kernel: hdd: {sM-wwwq=37s3u3p, ATA DISK drive kernel: hdd: _~M-t~TA-35135v>, ATA DISK drive kernel: hdd: _~M-t~TA-35135v>, ATA DISK drive
The Model and type seem damaged - it should probably be something like Model=IBM-DTTA-351350, FwRev=T??IA??A, SerialNo=WW?WW?????? with kernel report hdd: IBM-DTTA-351350, 12897MB w/464kB Cache, CHS=26205/16/63
So, this could be a disk hardware problem (does this disk report its identity correctly under other kernels?) or an IDE driver problem, or random kernel memory corruption via a wild pointer or so, or just plain bad memory.
You can try to distinguish such cases (i) by booting an old and good kernel, (ii) by use of hdparm -I instead of hdparm -i , (iii) by using the same disk on another machine.
