[Linux-disciples] bootup errors

[Adam Rosi-Kessel]

It seems like it's trying to do some test on bootup that your drive doesn't
support. Are you running hdparm?

What kernel are you running?

I'm thinking there might be some kernel bootloader option or maybe a module
option that might prevent this also, but I don't know off the top of my head
what it might be.
