[Sheflug] Hard drive problem + grip under RH7.2

[Peter Collier <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Re postings I made in the past with booting & dmesg problems.
I have 2 hard drives,1 Win98 and 2 as RH7.2. Win98 boots ok, no problems, RH 
hangs for ages when reading partion for hda1 (win98). I can't put both drives 
on the same ide socket. If I do, linux doesn't boot ( fstab, lilo, grub 
configs are correct.) So win98 disk as master hda + cdrom RW hdb. Linux hdc + 
cdreader on hdd. Some time back hda failed, a Fujitsu MPE3084AT 8.4gig. I 
downloaded from Fujitsu site a setup/format disk for their hard drives. On 
using it, it insisted that the drive was a MPE1034AT  10.5 gig.! My model 
MPE3084AT is not shown on their site at all. So I went along with the format 
disk but only got 8.4 & not 10.5 gig. Searching on the internet I have found 
some Russian & Polish sites referring to my disk, but unfortunately I can 
speak but not read Polish. When I pealed back the model sticker, underneath 
was another saying it was the 10.5 g model. A faulty batch, sold cheap to the 
eastern block  with a diff model No. sticker? Swapped it for a old 500meg 
drive (only need  win** for the scanner) and linux boots up no problems now.
	Grip under RH7.2. You were right Baz, works if set to rip as cdda2wav, 
however even as user I'm getting this problem that machine crashs/locks up 
after processing 4 tracks or so. Now my gnome window is not functioning 
correctly (to many lost inodes with the constant crashes?) kde is ok.
	Sorry about email length, but it  is 2 messages, plus look out if  someone 
offers above hard drive to you.
