Re: System stops because /var/log not found after moving to new
partition 2005-02-26 - By Steven J. Yellin

Your dmesg shows disk errors:
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
Check that the cables are connected well. Maybe disabling dma would
help (man hdparm, /etc/sysconfig/harddisks), though it would slow down
your I/O.
