Drive errors

[Matthew Daubenspeck <matt@oddprocess.org>]

I have been running the same woody box for more then 2 years, and I
just got the following message:

hda: timeout waiting for DMA
hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hda: timeout waiting for DMA
hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hda: DMA disabled
ide0: reset: success

I seem to remember (the archives were no help) that someone had
suggested that this may be a bad drive? Everything seems to be working
now, but if this drive is on it's way out, I would rather replace it
now before it's completely dead...

Thanks for the help.
