RE: [TCLUG:10633] strange errors in messages file

["McNitt, Jennifer" <Jennifer.McNitt@westgroup.com>]

It is a hard drive.  I bet it has a few bad sectors since it is somewhat
old.

Also, how do I determine what kernel I'm running?  Is there a command I can
run on the command line for this?

Thanks,

Jen

It either means that your hard drive is going out, or that drive timeouts
are off (or something like that). Is hdb a hard drive or a cdrom? If it is
a cdrom, try moving it to the secondary IDE channel, and see if the
problem is resolved. Also, what kernel are you running? Some IDE problems
were fixed in more recent 2.2.x kernels.
