- The Quantum drive is recalibrating and can not receive data from the
- ST. You can actually hear the recalibratings: "ZickZack".

- >Is there a fix, patch ??
- Yes: fix the file kernel/stwini.c
- You will find a "#define HDC_POLL" change it to
- #define HDC_POLL 32000
-
- build a new kernel and be happy.
