[NTLUG:Discuss] HD problem - I think

[terry]

Working on a [dual boot], Fedora8 install on:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.70GHz
MemTotal:       514964 kB
Disk /dev/sda: 40.0 GB,
Disk /dev/sdb: 30.0 GB,
  (it's IDE):

Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: ATA      Model: ST340016A        Rev: 3.10
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI  SCSI revision: 05
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
  Vendor: ATA      Model: WDC WD300AB-00BV Rev: 21.0
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI  SCSI revision: 05
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: _NEC     Model: NR-7900A         Rev: 1.08
  Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI  SCSI revision: 05
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
  Vendor: PIONEER  Model: DVD-ROM DVD-114  Rev: 1.24
  Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI  SCSI revision: 05

Anyway:
Boot is slow showing repitions of stuff like:
Buffer I/O error on device sdb, logical block 7
 I think it's a HD problem. Also says:
 ata1.01: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0

Not sure what to make of it but  looks like maybe the drives keep
bailing and the kernel keeps renegotiating the speed.
Anyone seen something like this? Have any clues what to do?
