Yesterday, when I plugged my player in, it waited for ages at the "reading playlist" stage. Then it eventually appeared with an empty playlist. Selecting a bookmark, it spent a long time with the "W" icon up, and sounded like it was repeatedly retrying disk access; it eventually started playing. I was in the car, so couldn't get a boot log.

I get similar behaviour here today - it won't continue playing from power-up. Boot log attached.

I've tried fsck on /dev/hd* and I've tried starting the player in RW mode to rebuild the databases, but I still get a whole load of

hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0
ide0: reset: success
hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0
ide0: reset: success
hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:03 (hda), sector 46
hda: status timeout: status=0xd0
hda: drive not ready for command
ide0: reset: success
hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0
ide0: reset: success
hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:03 (hda), sector 48
hda: status timeout: status=0xd0
hda: drive not ready for command
ide0: reset: success


Any hints?

My player still has a couple of weeks of warranty left, so I'd rather take it in than open it...
