 Posted: Sat Oct 01, 2005 5:56 pm Post subject: Errors on boot [Solved - Rebuilt System] |
 |
|
I had some errors on boot that looked like a hard drive was going to fail. Since it was an old drive, i grabbed a new one and dd'd the system over to a new drive. The new drive shows the same errors. I'm not sure what to do now.
At the top of the boot process I see this:
hda: task_in_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hda: task_in_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=78230688, high=4, low=1121824, sector=78230688
ide:failed opcode was: unknown
===> my comment: This happends 5-6 times then:
ide0: reset:success
===> my comment: The above repeated about 4 screens full then:
Buffer IO error on device hda3 logical block 9517990
setting /sbin/udevsend as hot plug agent
Boot continues apparently normally from there.
I'm using a compaq nc6000 laptop
fdisk -l shows:
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes
240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 5168 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 = 7741440 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 5 37768+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 6 138 1005480 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda3 139 5174 38072160 83 Linux
What is happening here? What should I do if anthing? The system seems to operate fine after boot, but this worries me.

If you have SMART enabled in your bios (and HD supports)
| Code: | #emerge smartmontools
...
...
#smartctl -H /dev/hda |
I get the following on one of my older HD's
| Code: |
smartctl version 5.33 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen
Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/
=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
Please note the following marginal Attributes:
ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE
9 Power_On_Seconds 0x0012 001 001 020 Old_age Always FAILING_NOW 16882h+18m+28s
|
Have a look at the man page for smartctl for all the other things you can do (good example commands at end of page)
EDIT: Dont forget to fsck  |

the results:
=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
So... the question is: Do I need to worry? |

Something is trying to read past the end of the drive (LBA 78230688 is at byte offset 40054112256, but your drive is a little smaller from your fdisk output). Since the error stayed after swapping disks, it could be a corrupt filesystem referencing some non-existent LBA. Your could try to run fsck manually (from a LiveCD, as you need the partition unmounted to do this, and if you're using XFS, run xfs_check instead, as fsck.xfs is a no-op).
The "ide0: reset" are just the consequence of the numerous other errors: the IDE driver normally reissues failed commands a few times. After that, if the error still exists, it assumes the drive and/or the controller is confused, and resets the IDE bus to bring the devices to a known state. |
