    After upgrading my 8.1 kernel with the latest online updates I now get
    the following error messages atr boot up.

     

    <4>hda: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }

    <4>hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

    <4>hda:saw err in ide_end_drive_cmd, disabling write barriers

    <4>hda: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }

    <4>hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

    <4>hda:saw err in ide_end_drive_cmd, disabling write barriers

     

    Are they serious?

     

    Can I ignore them?

     

    Can I fix them?

     

    From googling I think they may be something to do with ordered write
    mode on a ReiserFS (jounalled) filesystem. But I have no idea what that
    means.

     

    Help..

     

    Roger
