weird /var/log/messages when using KDE

[ronin47]

Hi All,

When I start KDE 3.4 this is what appears in my /var/log/messages

Oct 24 14:12:31 rivendell hdd: ATAPI reset complete
Oct 24 14:12:31 rivendell hdd: status error: status=0x00 { }

It will scroll over and over without any visable effect on performance. Does anyone know what it might be doing.

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

Just looked through those logs and it would appear that the errors started at 2pm on saturday. Exactly when lightning struck somewhere near the house.

You would think I would have thought of that first.

Thanks for your interest anyway,
