Description Michael Meeks 2006-01-17 10:52:28 UTC 
While on the road I remove my DVD drive & insert a spare battery instead [ re-boot etc. of course ] [ Thinkpad R40 ].

Unfortunately - I really need the spare battery, since I get a gigantic splurge of crud synchronously written to my syslog continually:

Jan 16 10:19:34 linux kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown
Jan 16 10:19:34 linux kernel: hdc: ATAPI reset complete
Jan 16 10:19:34 linux kernel: hdc: status error: status=0x00 { }

Looks like it happens ever second or so - some polling gone mad. Over the duration this produced a ~100Mb log-file as you would imagine; rather unfortunate.

Looks like ACPI again. Thomas?

-> Did you shutdown, exchange battery/disk, then booted again?
Or do the messages still come from the time you got the disk out of the slot, while the machine was still running and then rebooted?
Comment 4 Michael Meeks 2006-02-06 21:02:58 UTC 
Sure - I re-booted; I can't make it work any other way. Of course - I'll try to re-test this with NLD10 B3 shortly to see if it persists.
Comment 5 Thomas Renninger 2006-04-21 13:44:24 UTC 
Rereading this, I am still not sure what the problem here is.
The spare battery, the disk (works, but throws these errors?) or both?
Or is it that hotplugging the disk/spare battery does not work?

Possibly the disk is going to die?
Comment 6 Michael Meeks 2006-04-21 16:50:34 UTC 
so - since this doesn't recur with SLED10 - closing, presumed fixed :-)
Comment 7 Ihno Krumreich 2007-06-04 16:50:33 UTC 
Closed.
