Opcode 0xb0 is "WIN_SMART". Error 0x04 is "command aborted/rejected/unsupported".
Something on your system is issuing S.M.A.R.T. commands from userspace to the drive, and the drive either (1) doesn't support S.M.A.R.T., or (2) currently does not have S.M.A.R.T. enabled (smartctl -s on /dev/hda).
The "smartmontools" package is what normally issues these commands. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
