My RedHat 7.3 linux works fine, when it was booted with the cassette inserted. I can mount/read/write/unmount the device without any error. Next, I unmount the device and extract the cassette - usually (not always)I receive the "spurious interrupt" message. Then, when I insert the cassette and try to mount it back, I receive the following errors: --------- [root@leonp] mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/pcmcia end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 2 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 4 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 6 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 2 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 4 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 6 unable to read partition table mount: error while guessing file system type ------------ These messages are repeated several times. I also tried to issue hdparm -U (or -R) 0 /dev/hdc with exactly the same result. Any help will be highly appreciated.
