on a similar note. i've had this error for a couple years on a workstation
in our lab. since all the important data is nfs mounted i didn't really
care so much if the drive died.

Aug 18 kernel: had: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Aug 18 kernel: had: dma_intr: error=0x84  { DriveStatusError BadCRC }

can anyone shed some light on what this might be?

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
 whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
 the holy name of liberty and democracy?
