Hi I sure hope someone here can help me out. I have had this problem from day one. I have an AST Advantage pro 486-DX66 with 20M RAM WD 1GB IDE HD WD 340KB IDE HD On boot up using the Ygdrassill distribution of linux I will see this error message on the screen. IDE1:unexpected_intr:status=0x40 IDE1:unexpected_intr:status=0x40 IDE1:unexpected_intr:status=0x40 This will repeat over and over with an occasional line of 0x250.IDE1:unexpected_intr:status=0x40 thrown in, with the 0x???.IDE1:unexpected_intr:status=0x40 being a different number each time. Now in the beginning it would have happen for about 5-10 minutes and then boot into linux. But now I can not boot into linux at all. This error will continue on forever I think. I once let it run over night with not luck. My question is : What is the reference to unexpected_intr:0x40. I am using OnTrac's disk manager. I do have some bad sectors on the primary drive, could linux be getting hung up on these blocks. If so how do I get around this? Thanks, Paul
