Hey,
I have a 240mb harddisk which seems to have a faulty cache. When doing make zImage the machine reboots once in a while or gcc gets a segmentation fault etc etc.. After testing it on 3 machines I came to the conclusion that the drive is faulty and probably the cache (A low level format gives no errors so no physical surface problem).
How can I turn of _all_ use of the cache? Do I need to use hdparm? I haven't been able to figure out all the parameters (or it just doesn't help).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
