I don't think this is a bug, the drive was told to read a sector and returned error SK=03, ASC=02, ASCQ=00 which is "NO SEEK COMPLETE", in other words it couldn't find that sector. Could be that the disc is marginally readable and only sometimes causes read errors. -- Robert Hancock Saskatoon, SK, Canada To email, remove "nospam" from hancockr@...pamshaw.ca Home Page: http://www.roberthancock.com/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
