On your first boot, and to your knowledge the hard drive works fine?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 9:02 PM, Politik Durden <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:politikdurden@yahoo.com">politikdurden@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hello all, <br><br>Very very new to Linux. :-) I've pretty much just installed off some LiveCDs, and fired up a browser. That's about it. <br><br>Running fedora 11 on a 2GHZ Celeron gateway 300s with 1G of ram. <br>
<br>I'm getting the error <br><br>ata1 srst failed errno 16<br><br>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.<br>
<br>the Intel chipsets:<br><br>memory: 82845G/GE/GL/EV<br>i/o: 82801DB(ICH4)<br>video: 82845G <br><br>couldn't find much googling the chipsets above with keyword fedora 11. couldn't find a supported chipset list on <a href="http://fedoraproject.org" target="_blank">fedoraproject.org</a>. <br>
<br>searching for the error itself goes to a bunch of ubuntu people with what seems like a conflict
with the kernel and the chipset. <br><br>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 ? <br><br>Thanks. <br></td></tr></tbody></table>
