hello All:-)
i dont know its the right place to post this?
boz of mine Pc is not working well

and it shows many lines like

ata1:SRST failed(error =-16)
ata1.00: status;{DRDY}
ata1: link is slow to respond
Call Trace

Sometime its shows Msg at startup "Disk boot failuer"

You may have a failing hard disk. Back up your data and consider replacing it. There might also be something wrong with your installation... but the hard drive is the most probable culprit from where I stand.

After a whole system update with pacman -Syu?

ya after that this problem arise.
sometime it didnt start and the HD light and dvd light were currently blink.
then i had to put the cell or change the HD cable port(SATA) and reboot it many times(3-4) then it works.

I had to compile in my required SCSI modules INTO (Y) the kernel (for example VIA_SATA) and Asynchronous Transfers or whatever into the kernel to get rid of that. Then it would hang on BIOS so I just got a new PC. (I know a new HDD would have done too)

Run diagnostics on your hard disk - either from the manufacturer's CD, or from Ultimate Boot CD.
