First, however, the relevant info (I hope) on the SCSI controller and disk: ahc0 rev 0 int a irq 9 on pci0:15 ahc0: aic7880 Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs (ahc0:0:0): "CONNER CFP4207S 4.28GB 5767" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 4096MB (8388608 512 byte sectors) Okay, now the problem. The system boots and seems to function just fine, but every once in a while the kernel makes disturbing complaints like the following: Sep 10 03:16:49 hecke /kernel: sd0(ahc0:0:0): ABORTED COMMAND info:7f877f csi:f,90,0,27 asc:9,0 Track following error field replaceable unit: 15 Sep 10 03:16:49 hecke /kernel: sd0(ahc0:0:0): ABORTED COMMAND info:7f877f csi:f,90,0,27 asc:9,0 Track following error field replaceable unit: 15 Sep 10 03:16:49 hecke /kernel: , retries:4 Sep 10 03:16:49 hecke /kernel: , retries:4 Is this an indication of a hardware problem with the SCSI disk? Should I be worried?
