SCSI information (from /proc/scsi/scsi)
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: LITE-ON Model: LTR-0841 Rev: MS86
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02

7.7) Other information that might be relevant to the problem
(please look in /proc and include all information that you
think to be relevant):

no more relevant data left i think

x)
Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds

all mandrake update packages installed.
But i think its sure that the error is produced by kernel, thats what the output says.

Thank u for Help. I hope that this report can help to find the error.
Ah, i forgot to say, that this error can be repeated. every time when i write some data (not more than 2-3 minutes)
the error comes back. When the error occures i cant use the hdd ones more. I have allways to reboot.

Another part of the problem is:
first i have had only one ide bus used with one hdd. ...and the raid0 disks
The error occures the first time when i but another hdd as master at the second ide bus.
The error does never occures bevor.
But i need the second disk

hope u have all informations u need too find the problem.
have a nice day.
