I reported a problem to the lkml (see "PROBLEM: Powerquest Drive Image let the kernel panic" and "PROBLEM: kernel panic when accessing data via samba") describing a kernel panic when accessing a huge amount of data via samba. Unfortunately I didn't get any response yet.

I'm getting similar errors: kernel: hdc: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } kernel: hdc: drive_cmd: error=0x04Aborted Command I don't get any IRQ routing conflicts.

My onboard IDE is an Intel 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE. My two harddisks (each 120GB of size) are attached to a Promise Ultra 133TX2 controller.
