Hi,

I did just that and now I am struggeling to get Linux installed on it.
I created a couple of ext3 partitions and now I am copying from an NFS mounted volumne to the harddrive, but I am getting horrible errors.

I am copying from inside an SSH session. The harddrive is a 3.5" SATA-II 200GB Samsung drive.

See following error messages:

Is this a known problem or is my harddrive incompatible?

[rvherk]

Hi,

Please check the cable connections first

Second, please make sure you use the latest kernel. There have been sata errors in the past, but these were fixed with kernel #26 (the current version)

BR,
Ron

Hi Ron

Would you care to share to details on the necessary changes to the kernel. I'm having the exact same issues with:

Code:

SStatus 0x00000113, SError 0x00180000

when trying to boot the Tribbox on a ST-Linux 2-3 kernel, otherwise the kernel works fine.

Btw it only happens once during boot, and it seems that I can use the HDD fine.

Regards
Mikkel
