Comment 227 for bug 445852

Alan: My Eee 900 is bricked. I have dd'ed zeroes over the SSD several times, and while I am no longer getting HSM-violations (since I am using a 8.04 rescue image), I now get Buffer I/O errors galore on the device. A full dd takes roughly 12 hours (that's the 16 gig drive) due to all these errors, and have no effect on them. I have dd'ed it probably three or four times now, and there's no apparent improvement.

I have given up and purchased a 1008HA with a regular disk on it instead. That works like a charm, though.

In other news: Eee 900 with 2G RAM for sale. :)
