    Weird Hard Drive Issue

    Hello,

    Just got a new server and am having a problem with the hard drives. As of now it only has 1 hard drive (waiting for a shipment). This is hda . However, I get this message in server information of WHM:

    hdc: IRQ probe failed (0xfffffef8)
    hdc: IRQ probe failed (0xfffffef8)
    hdc: no response (status = 0x0a), resetting drive
    hdc: IRQ probe failed (0xfffffef8)
    hdc: no response (status = 0x0a)
    hdd: IRQ probe failed (0xfffffef8)
    hdd: IRQ probe failed (0xfffffef8)
    hdd: no response (status = 0x0a), resetting drive
    hdd: IRQ probe failed (0xfffffef8)
    hdd: no response (status = 0x0a)

    Notice how they are all about hdc and hdd. hdd and hdc dont even exist, which is why the errors are coming like that. For example, hdparm /dev/hdd will say no device.

    I had the DC check the bios and turn off primary slave and secondary master/slave, but these errors still come up.

    Anybody have ideas to get rid of hdc and hdd trying to load up? I'm guessing its within the init stage.

    BTW - this same thing happens on multiple kernels (custom compiled and rpm based).

    System is redhat 9.

    For future reference -

    I solved this problem by adding ' hdc=noprobe hdd=noprobe ' to my grub.conf file.
