Yep, that's a message from the disk itself, so it should be unrelated to the controller. Make sure to turn on automatic read and write error correction (ARRE/ AWRE), on mode page #1.

Normally not, except you've also got complaints about VM subsystem failures caused by the disk fault. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
