This is on a KM400 with Skt A Sempron + Seagate SATA HDD. > http://bugsplatter.mine.nu/test/linux-2.6/sempro/ Very unlikely. Rare bitwise errors like yours are more likely caused by i.e. broken IDE cable or too fast an IDE-controller setting for the cable / drive. Or memory error. Or an itch on the mainboard. or++ Interrupt errors would cause errors blockwisely. like whole sectors of data missing, device not working....
