- I'm having a couple of rather hindering problems with running linux
- at the moment, I would greatly apprechiate any help any one can offer with
- either, thanks!
-
- Problem/Question #1:
- My hard drive is acting wierd, periodically *well, very frequently* it
- displays this messages, then goes back to what it was doing:
-
- HD: write_intr: status = 0xff
- HD: write_intr: error = 0xff
- controller_read: status = ff
- HD-controller reset
-
- I have no idea what this means/if I should worry about it or how to correct
- it.
-
- Problem #2:
- gcc/cc does not like my system at all, it absolutely crawls. I tried
- compiling ps and it took 30-45 minutes to compile. I dunno if this is
- because of my swap drive, cpu speed, memory, or what. I'm afraid to try
- to re-compile the kernel :)
-
- My setup consists of:
- 386 33mhz
- 2 meg ram
- 30 meg linux partition *50% free*
- 2 meg swap drive *which linux says is 4?*
- the usual floppy drives, keyboard, ect
-
-
- Any help would be _GREATLY_ apprechiated, thanks again!
