Hello guys!

I've been experiencing problems with my Gentoo box. Some minutes after I boot, the filesystem becomes read-only for the /home partition. dmesg shows this:

Code:
[  503.211455] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0
[  503.211458] ata1.00: irq_stat 0x40000001
[  503.211461] ata1.00: failed command: FLUSH CACHE EXT
[  503.211466] ata1.00: cmd ea/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0

[  503.211469] ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR }

[  503.213155] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100
[  503.213176] ata1: EH complete
[  503.812021] end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 238713654
[  503.812083] Aborting journal on device sda2-8.
[  503.827090] EXT4-fs error (device sda2) in ext4_da_write_end: IO failure
[  503.852951] EXT4-fs error (device sda2): ext4_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal
[  503.852956] EXT4-fs (sda2): Remounting filesystem read-only


Also, I just noticed that if I do:

Code:
fsck /dev/sda
p


... it does not print the list of partitions.

How can I solve this? Thank you so much

casidiablo,

There is a problem with the drive or the data cable or the motherboard. First, try removing and replacing the data cable, so that the contacts are 'wiped'. If that helps, it won't last very long - get a new data cable.
If it doesn't help, try swapping with another data cable. If the fault moves with the cable, its the cable.

We need to see your dmesg to advise further.
