http://linuxexchange.org/questions/353/hard-drive-hard-resetting-link<p>Got a new HD for my aging server. Is a WD500AAKS. This rig has no SATA, so I connected through a VIA card that was working ok with a WD 80G. Now I get these messages. </p> <pre>May 6 18:57:30 asuracenturix kernel: [114177.444092] ata3: hard resetting link May 6 18:57:30 asuracenturix kernel: [114177.780064] ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) May 6 18:57:30 asuracenturix kernel: [114177.807356] ata3.00: configured for UDMA/33 May 6 18:57:30 asuracenturix kernel: [114177.807395] ata3: EH complete </pre> <p>Do you think is a hardware problem? Should I return the drive? This means without the server until the shop graciously checks the drive and decide it is MY problem?</p>enWed, 09 Jan 2013 13:30:53 -0500http://linuxexchange.org/questions/353/hard-drive-hard-resetting-link/3012<p>Since you didn't post dmesg or /var/log/messages we can only guess. Do you have a 3.0 Gbps drive but only a 1.5 Gbps controller on your mobo? If so you'll get that message, but the kernel should load the proper driver for the controller and the drive should be recognized and mountable.</p>mingdaoWed, 09 Jan 2013 13:30:53 -0500http://linuxexchange.org/questions/353/hard-drive-hard-resetting-link/3012http://linuxexchange.org/questions/353/hard-drive-hard-resetting-link#2409<p>Please accept an answer so the question/answer can be finished.
