hi there i have a strange think, i'm using gigabyte motherboard and there are 3 ide chanels, the thirst one is on ICH7 chipset and both ide2 and ide3 are on IT8212 and when the kernel is loading i get those strange outputs on the monitor:

there are three hard disks connected to that controller and all of them got those "DriveReady SeekComplete Error" what is it wrong?? maybe somebody can help me to fix it?? because i think that i have some bad sectors but if i mount them, the data stored on them is allright

I have this controller on a PCI card. It works OK only when I configure it as a RAID with two drivers (RAID0, i have only two matching hds, so I can't check any other configuration). But recently I migrated my RAID to other computer and tried to use IT8212 as a regular IDE (no RAID) controller. Then these errors showed up for me also. It seems that using this controller as a regular IDE is not a good idea.
