disk failure - cable problem?
Posted: Mon Feb 10, 2020 12:16 am
Hi Forum,
I had a disk failure on a fitpc3. The machine would not boot at all and I got errors like
"ata1.00 device reported invalid CHS sector 0"
when I got into rescue mode.
I replaced the disk and installed an operating system. However, I am still getting error messages. I have looked around on some message
boards and they suggest this sort of thing might be the SATA cable. The fix is to re-seat it at both ends or preferably replace it. However, on a fitpc3, I don't see how to do that. Here are some of the error messages I have been getting. What do you think? Can I fix this?
from /var/log/syslog
