After getting fed up, I reinstalled "/" as ext3 on /dev/h da
(My Maxtor hard drive) and checked
for bad sectors this time while installation. /dev/sda(3ware RAID)
still has my home directories and has XFS on it.
Everything went thru well (as I was expecting) and my
redhat is running for now.
The h da: dma_intr errors are gone while starting startx at least.
But of course that doesn't mean that they wont come in the future.
Beest Wishes,
