I fear something is amuck. I have a 3.0.3 install on a 486/66 16MB 32MB
swap, all on 1 Western Digital 1.6G HD. For the third time now I had a
kernel panic and was dumped into the repair# prompt, where fsck /dev/hda4
(/home) cured the problem, at least temporarily.
Here is some of the message:
Oct 24 23:41:42 spock kernel: hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }

I know this is BAD. What I don't know is if this is a hardware error?
This drive is a few months old. Will a fresh format fix this?
Each time this happened I was working in /home. The last time I was
extracting a tar archive and it got to one file and just hung the machine
with a kernel panic. On reboot it went to repair#. /home is mounted as hda4.
Thanks for any ideas. My 4 other WD drives are flawless for several
years, that is why I purchased this new 1.6G.
