Hello again,

Sorry if this belongs in -current, but after just getting X to work
I'm come across a problem I was having under 3.0 when doing something
disk intensive:

# find /usr/pkgsrc -name screen

cmdide0 channel 0: reset failed for drive 0
cmdide0:0:0:wait timed out
wd0a:device timeout writing fsbn 931104 of 931...... retrying

I might have a duff hard drive? I've heard the IDE interface on the
Ultra5/10 isn't great, so maybe this is a problem?

This happened before while extracting pkgsrc.tar.gz, although this
time it extracted without any problems,

I'm running sparc/200604100000Z (so I should post to port-sparc then?)

Thanks for any tips

Amadeus
