Lines: 28 Message-ID: <1pavcnINN81i@scarecrow.mke.ab.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: tinman.mke.ab.com X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL4 I recently installed a QP120AT IDE drive as wd1 on my system. The install went fine. I disklabeled and newfsed it. No problems. I then mounted the drive and copied a bunch of data to it. Happy that everything was working I added it to my fstab and went about business. A couple of days later I rebooted and wd1 seems to have *gone south*. Whenever I attempt to access wd1 in any way the system seems to lock up. Characters I type are still echoed to the screen but thats it. I have the 0.2.2 patchkit installed and I have my system set up to use gcc-2.3.3. I've tried backing out patches and recompiling the kernel. I've tried playing with the CMOS setup. I've scanned news trying to find some clue. I'm confident its not the hardware because I've checked it with other software and it WAS working at one point in 386BSD. I am probably missing something obvious, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Thad Phetteplace Network Systems Analyst, Allen-Bradley Co.
