Hello,

The last week i got a BSDI internet server 2.1  and tried to install the
BSDI into a compaq deskpro 2000, but i got some troubles on
installation.

The install program always prompt "wd0: lost interrupt" "wd0: restting
controllor" when it try to copy the system files into the hard drive.

Today, my BSDI host prompt the error "wd0:lost interrupt" "wd0:restting
controllor" frequently and then down. After resetting the machine, the
system prompt me to run "fsck" manually to fix the disk problems. But
the fsck can't fix the disk completely, the system can't boot success
now!!

I think the problems is on the H.D., so i boot up the machine by DOS and
run QAplus to check the hard disk but the Qaplus can't find any problems
on the disk.

The deskpro came with 16 MB ram, a 1.2GB quantrum Big foot and a 3c509B
TPO card.

Do you think what happen on the BSDI and the Compaq deskpro 2000?

best regards,
jacky
