Player finds disks but won't use them?

My player was working just fine, then I went to change tracks. Once I selected a new playlist, the W icon came on and the songs never loaded. The player is stuck on 0:00. I can skip to the next track, but it still won't play. The W icon stays lit and the hard drive icon blinks once in a while. Rebooting the player works okay, it finds the disks, loads the player software and database, but then gets stuck. For some reason, I can no longer select any other playlists. If I try, the player just displays the hourglass icon forever. So, I don't understand how it can load the software and player database but hang after that. Bad track or something? I can view the serial output during boot until: <yellow>hijack: removed menu entry: "Hard Disk Detection" khttpd: listening on port 80 kftpd: listening on port 21</yellow> At that point, I get no more data displayed. I can't do a Q to get the bash prompt. I can't connect via emplode... nothing. The only thing I seem to be able to do is boot the player and install HiJack. I would almost guess that one of the drives isn't responding but the boot process shows no errors. (?) Full boot log if there are any clues: Quote:

I might be wrong, but to me it looks like the first disk doesn't spin up properly, only the second.

No, the first disk spins up fine, just it seems to be taking longer than the second. If you look towards the end of the boot log, you can see the ID string for both disks.
The fact that it's taking longer could be normal, or it could be a sign of trouble.

That's never worked properly. You should use Ctrl+C to quit the player. If you get to the bash prompt successfully, take a look in /empeg/fids0 and /empeg/fids1. If they're both full of files, then your disks were found and mounted correctly.
Are you sure that it's not just the player crashing on a bad track? What version of the player software was it?
Try "player -i", which resets the playlist and other stuff.

The disks are just fine here. Try Roger's suggestions.

I feel like such a noob!  If I would have remembered Control-C I think I would have figured it out. Thanks guys! All seems to be fine now... I just wonder what's messed up with my Bob Seager collection now! (That's where it hung).

This bit of your boot log doesn't look at all good:
Quote:

ide_data_test: wrote 0xffff read 0x0080

ide_data_test: wrote 0x5555 read 0x0080
Looks like you have an intermittent IDE failure.

Ah, good catch. Any idea which of the drives it likely is?

Could be hda -- that drive doesn't display its ID until the error mysteriously resolves itself:
Code:
ide_data_test: wrote 0x0000 read 0x0080
ide_data_test: wrote 0xffff read 0x0080
ide_data_test: wrote 0xaaaa read 0x0080
ide_data_test: wrote 0x5555 read 0x0080
hdb: IC25N080ATMR04-0, ATA DISK drive
ide_data_test: wrote 0x0000 read 0x0000
ide_data_test: wrote 0xffff read 0xffff
ide_data_test: wrote 0xaaaa read 0xaaaa
ide_data_test: wrote 0x5555 read 0x5555
hda: HTS548080M9AT00, ATA DISK drive
hdb: IC25N080ATMR04-0, ATA DISK drive
In case you've forgotten which one's which, that model number (HTS...) is a Hitachi TravelStar 5K80. The other one (IC25...), which appears to be working OK, is a Hitachi/IBM TravelStar 80GN. I apologise if you already knew that, but I had a quick google for the model numbers in case the ID string was also corrupted.
On the other hand, it might not be a specific disk. It might be the cable or the header. See all of the other threads on this subject for more information.

I thought that the IDE errors were part of recent versions of Hijack - that it normally gives those kind of errors before the drives spin up, and then it clears...

Ah, well if that is the case, then it probably is just that disk taking a while to spin up that's causing those errors. If so, that probably points at that disk being on its way out.

No, not an IDE failure. That's just the data test happening while the IDE drive is still "in reset", with a tristated data bus. The CS4231A seems to have a slight up-pull on D7, so whenever the bus is "idle", it usually reads 0080. Note that one common failure mode of the CS4231A is where D7 gets stuck fully "on" -- something fishy about that pin in general.
Cheers

No, there is nothing here to indicate any kind of disk problem at all.
The "master" IDE device stays in reset until it finishes a post-reset handshake with the "slave" device, which is why you'll often see hdb/hdc appear before hda.
Nothing unusual. No need to rush out and replace a perfectly good drive.

Thank you so much everyone. I'll have a bit more time to tinker with it this week hopefully and I'll update as I go.
Thank you, thank you!
