Hi,

 I've recently ran again into an older problem; from time to time (like
4-5 months) I get a weird error message like this:

-- excerpt from /var/log/messages --

 Had this kind of problem with previous snapshots of 3.0-current too (I
believe I cannot blame AIC7XXX code anymore now, I did once in the early
pre-4.2Lite days, but there were also some other erors)

 Sould I assume that my current harddisk (Quantum VP32170S 'plugged into'
a AHA2940AU) is good just to hold (at most) the squid-swap from now on ?
I sincerely wouldn't trust in him now...

 Could this be related with some sudden reboots I experienced lately (no,
my UPS didn't scream about power problems) ?

 Thanks and forgive me for bothering you all...
