RE: kernel errors

[Thomas Fortner <thomas fortner sbcglobal net>]

Hi,
Hope someone can help me interpret this. I got this message in the logwatch of
machine running RHEL 3 this morning. Does this mean my first SCSI this (ie.
SDA) is about to fail, or is this more of a kernel bug? Basically my question
is, is this more likely hardware problem (scsi drive itself) or software
problem (kernel) ?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Reuben:

I had similar errors for a while, and it turned out that I had a music CD in the drive that Red Hat couldn't automount. I removed the CD from the drive and the errors went away.

BTW, the cd plays just fine in the drive that generated the errors. The errors come back as soon as the music starts.
