[rhn-users] rebuild kernel or get new hard drive?

[Paula J. Lindsay]

Hi everyone,
One of our RHE 3 machines went down this morning.  This machine runs one 
of our very needed instruments here on campus.  Can someone tell me if I can
rebuild the kernel, do an fsck or go out and buy a new harddrive?

Aug 28 11:22:28 chemino4 kernel: Current sd08:05: sense key Medium Error
Aug 28 11:22:28 chemino4 kernel: Additional sense indicates Unrecovered 
read error - auto reallocate failed
Aug 28 11:22:28 chemino4 kernel:  I/O error: dev 08:05, sector 129952
Aug 28 11:22:28 chemino4 kernel: scsi0: ERROR on channel 0, id 0, lun 0, 
CDB: Read (10) 00 01 63 f4 83 00 00 08 00

I don't know how to rebuild the kernel, but if needed, I will find out.
Many thanks for your advice/suggestions/opinions.
Paula
