    SeekComplete Error/Cpanel box.

    (root@chrome):~# dmesg|grep hd

    hda: Maxtor 6Y080L0, ATA DISK drive
    hda: attached ide-disk driver.
    hda: host protected area => 1

    hda: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
    hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

    This server has been online for 6 months, rebooted at various times when needed, but I just now saw the SeekComplete Error. Is this a drive problem?

    If you're just seeing it once, don't worry about it. SeekComplete is an error yes, but it's not a hugely critical error.

    If you're seeing this all the time, talk to your datacenter, I'd start by changing out the IDE cables, see if that helps. If this happens constantly, this CAN result in i/o failure which is not a good thing, but every once in a while it's not going to cause critical issues.

    Yes that is a somewhat common error and can be disregarded unless it happens often. If it starts showing up each time you run a shell command, I'd get worried. Otherwise, it is a very common message to see during boot-up.
