I just installed a new 2.1G scsi disk on my 2.1.5 system and got
these errors:

(lots of these, with different "info" values)
sd2(aha0:2:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:a246b asc:11,1 Read retries exhausted

and:
sd2(aha0:2:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:a2797 asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error
sd2(aha0:2:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:a2797 asc:11,1 Read retries exhausted
sd2(aha0:2:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:a2797 asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error
sd2(aha0:2:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:a2797 asc:11,1 Read retries exhausted
sd2(aha0:2:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:a2797 asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error
sd2(aha0:2:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:a2797 asc:13,0 Address mark not found for data field
sd2(aha0:2:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:a2797 asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error

I thought scsi was supposed to deal with these sort of things? Is
there something I need to do to make these go away?
