[UFO Chicago] fedora 11 error "ata1 srst failed errno 16"

[Politik Durden]

Hello all, 

Very very new to Linux. :-) I've pretty much just installed off some LiveCDs, and  fired up a browser. That's about it. 

Running fedora 11 on a 2GHZ Celeron gateway 300s with 1G of ram. 

I'm getting the error 

ata1 srst failed errno 16

at start up (seems like right after POST) before the OS loads. Once I boot up, I see a message that says the hard drive is failing. I ran the western digital tool on the same drive in a PC and all sectors came up clean, SMART test passed, no errors.

the Intel chipsets:

memory: 82845G/GE/GL/EV
i/o: 82801DB(ICH4)
video: 82845G 

couldn't find much googling the chipsets above with keyword fedora 11. couldn't find a supported chipset list on fedoraproject.org. 

searching for the error itself goes to a bunch of ubuntu people with what seems like a conflict with the kernel and the chipset. 

That's about all I can squeak out by myself. Any log files or config utilities I should be looking at or sites I should go to ? 

Thanks.
