Afterwards, I had similar messages also under 2.0.29, so though "maybe not a fault of 2.1.59 then". Anyway I moved the contents of that hard disk to the other one and while doing it I found those errors happened when reading _one_ sector (and <return> was enough to go on, BTW, no ctrl-c needed), so just made a new ext2 filesystem on it and had no more errors. Who had left that bad sector? Was it 2.1.59-related or not? I don't know. Anyway _now_ - four days later - I was in 2.1.59 (logged in as root on one only virtual console) and I WAS USING THE OTHER HARD DISK, the SCSI one (where I was gzipping/gunzipping _some_ files but not the first time indeed), and I heard the IDE hard disk move (maybe just auto recalibration) and saw this two lines appear among the ones related to what I was doing on that other SCSI hard disk:
hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } ide0: reset: success
(Again, I'm not asking for help or any answer, I'm just reporting. But in case you want to send me some answer/request-of-further-details please CC it to me, I'm not on the list any more. Last time Majordomo got crazy and sent me some tenths digests for one day, that was a pretty long popclient session.)
