Comment 17 for bug 387272

Hmm. I thought when I originally filed the bug that it was a software error, but then dismissed it as a hardware problem. The comments on this bug report are leading me to think it might be fixable?

Can someone please comment if they have _revived_ a "broken" system. My eee 900 has been sat in a drawer since I filed this bug because /dev/sda was unusable. Can the fault be undone?
