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

[Politik Durden]

Thanks all for the responses

@Jesse, there's no SATA, only PATA. I tried switching ports around but I will try that boot option

@Daniel, the drive came form a RAID and I was told it was working fine before I purchased it. I got another drive of the exact same model from the same source and that drive works flawlessly in another box. Western Digital low level diag tool came up clean, searching all sectors. 

Found some other threads about this error  and it seems pretty harmless. No effect on performance as far as I can tell. It's just a bit odd that the system thinks a drive is failing. 

Thanks again for the help.

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.
