I followed instructions exactly and it made no difference.

Should I even be posting in this thread or somewhere else? I don't have wireless LAN and am now on kernel 2.6.27-11. Is it possible to downgrade Ubuntu? Or do I have to do a full re-install? All older kernels have been removed from the system.

I have attached a stripped syslog. The file was originally over 50Mb (I stopped dd and klogd as soon as I logged in which stopped it from growing even larger)

I have removed any line that matched /sd 4:0:0:0/ with a ruby script, this was to remove all lines like:
>Jan 8 19:30:36 media-linux kernel: [ 525.910359] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : No Sense [current]
>Jan 8 19:30:36 media-linux kernel: [ 525.910367] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Add. Sense: No additional sense
which filled up the log

As you can see from the log, the events were happening so often that the log file is corrupted, e.g.

>Jan 13 20:47:13 media-linux kernel: [ 264.719966] sd 4:0:0 [current]
>Jan 13 20:47:12 media-linux kernel: [ 264.367664] sd 4i [current]

that is, incomplete versions of the lines I was excluding.

There also seem to be a lot of errors in the log that wouldn't normally be there (perhaps explaining the long delay on the boot splash screen while X tries to get up and running) I assume these are caused by updates I have included in order to try and get the dd and klogd errors sorted.

Another question why is DD running at all? Is it not a disk data copying program?

Any advice (even where else to go to sort the issue) would be appreciated.
