[Bug 37276] Re: [Bug 37276] Re: Bad blocks cause computer to freeze

[Charles Perreault]

Scanning my disc takes 12 hours or so since finding a bad blocks disable 
DMA.  I will copy a dmesg output of a Breezy Live CD kernel as soon as I 
have time to rescan my disc.

The kernel I used back then, 2.6.15-16 or so, I don't remember, did not 
seem to oops or panic : the computer freezed and no messages were left 
in the logs.  I really mean NO messages.  I won't be able to give you 
more info about that version since I upgraded to 2.6.15-21 lately.

I did not try to scan bad blocks with my current dapper kernel 
2.6.15-21-k7.  I'll try that a send more info as soon as its done.
