 |

What does the "blk: queue..." line mean? Should it appear when everything is ok?
| Code: | hdc: ST320423A, ATA DISK drive
blk: queue c0142d1c, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)
hde: ST380021A, ATA DISK drive
blk: queue c0143178, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)
|
Thanks. |

This tells you how the kernel will access the drive:
- blk: it's a block device
- queue: this is where the buffer lives
- I/O limit: maximum transfer queue supported by the device (not the drive).

Probably the drive or IDE interface doesn't support some or all of what the kernel wants from it, and it ends up frequently re-setting these things.
