I've got a FreeBSD 2.1-stable box running INN1.4unoff4 for news service.  
It's infrequently used at the moment because I was working some kinks out 
of it (INN doesn't want to expire, but that's another story).  I've 
recently SUPed -stable (I think it was Monday) and recompiled everything
('make world' and 'make install' in /usr/src; and rebuilt the kernel).

The PC is an IBM ValuePoint 486sx/s with an Intel Overdrive (486DX2-50) 
chip, 32MB of RAM, an Adaptec AHA2842 host adapter, a SoundBlaster 16 
with a Panasonic CD-ROM attached, and a Quantum Grand Prix 4GB SCSI-2 
Disk.

The problem is that recently I've been getting the following messages in 
/var/log/messages:

Jun 13 10:22:09 crooow /kernel: , retries:4 Jun 13 10:22:09 crooow /kernel:
sd0(ahc0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:7451af asc:14,1 Record not found sks:80,9

Jun 13 10:22:10 crooow /kernel: , FAILURE

Does anyone have an idea what this means.  I'm hoping it's not the hard 
disk failing.  It only seems to affect INN because I've been getting 
error messages from it stating that it couldn't create a file or a 
symlink like this:

Jun 13 09:40:08 crooow innd: ME cant symlink
/var/news/comp/os/os2/setup/misc/1903 and comp/os/os2/m isc/5371 Input/output
error

But then again, it's really only being used for INN, so that probably why 
I only see errors in that.

I'd appreciate any information that anyone could provide me.
