<Summary: help needed with hard disk

<Yet another hard disk problem:

<A friend of mine is trying to install Minix on a Club AT with an Everex
<(30 Meg) hard disk.  Problem we are stuck at: when we access the hard
<disk (whether by mkfs or dd), the first couple accesses go through, then
<we hit a series 'can not reset controller' errors.  The controller is
<i/o port compatible with the IBM AT controller, and there are no bad
<sectors on the disk.  We're stuck - any help would be welcome.

I have noticed similar problems after setting the date using the date -q 
command.  Try removing this from your /etc/rc file.  This is not necessarily
the solution to YOUR problem, but it seemed to work for me.
