Hi,

 currently I set up a freshly new gentoo system "from scratch"
 on another harddisk.

 For that purpose I have two WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1 (pasted from 
 hdparm -i) harddisk (1TB, advanced format 4096 kb sectors).
 One harddisk is currently holding the gento system, the other
 one is intended as a bare plain copy of the other one (a backup
 while setting up the system).

 With an old KNOPPIX dvd I tried to copy the first hd onto
 the other one with

    dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=8192

 which gave me a LOT of I/O errors after a short time.

 Still hopeing, that my hardware (motherboard/chipset/bios) and
 the hd are ok I am trying to figure out, what the reason was
 for that...

 My motherboard is an Asus AV8.
 


 From what kernel version the new advanced format
 of the hd is fully supported ?
 
 Are there other reasons -- beside defective hardware -- for
 the failing dd and how can I fix them ?




 Thank you very much in advance for any help!
 best regards
 mcc
