I recently got the following error message, and I don't know if this
failure indicates that the SCSI disk is broken because it failed to
reallocate a bad block or what.  Is it possibly a kernel problem, or
can I be sure this is really a disk failure?  Or, have I done
something stupid.  

Unfortunately, the /dev directory contents fall on this bad block.
So, until I mknod a new /dev/kmem, I can't supply any new runtime
information.

I would appreciate any information someone can supply.  Thanks.
