Hi, I just recently picked up a pentium machine with a large EIDE drive in
it.  On my first install I got a bunch of these:

May 22 06:50:19 myname /kernel: wd0s3f: hard error reading fsbn 1012831 of
1012830-1012831 (wd0s3 bn 1336415; cn 331 tn 28 sn 59)wd0: status
59<seekdone,drq,err> error 40<uncorr>

I reinstalled and used the bad144 option to have things checked out.  It
found quite a few bad sectors and sysinstall said that 'bad144 returned 1.'
I assumed that since things continued on, that was normal?  Perhaps
that's not the case?

Anyway the install went just handily after the scan and so I set out
to rebuild my kernel and have now seen quite a few more.  Here's a
couple more examples:

May 22 06:50:19 myname /kernel: wd0s3f: hard error reading fsbn 1012831 of 1012830-1012831 (wd0s3 bn 1336415; cn 331 tn 28 sn 59)wd0: status 59<seekdone,drq,err> error 40<uncorr>
May 22 06:50:31 myname /kernel: wd0s3f: hard error reading fsbn 1012831 of 1012830-1012831 (wd0s3 bn 1336415; cn 331 tn 28 sn 59)wd0: status 59<seekdone,drq,err> error 40<uncorr>

So does this mean there's something seriously wrong with my disk or
am I some kind of idiot who is missing something obvious.
