If you get the same errors if you boot again with the 2.6.18 kernel,
then I'd say the disk was dying. However, if you don't get the errors
with the the old kernel but do with the new, then the new kernel isn't
working with either the disk or the IDE controller. If the latter,
bummer. Since I run old hardware, I hate upgrading to a new kernel
because it likely means that more of my hardware has to be migrated away
from linux to one of the BSDs.
