I've had this error-message repeatedly over the years on a laptop that
I first got early in 1995. Then it ran Slackware with a 1.2.0 kernel;
now it runs debian (slink) with a 2.0.34 or 2.0.36 kernel.
I've asked what the message means on a number of newsgroups and
mailing lists over the years, and I've seen others ask about it many
times in this and in other places. But I've never seen a definitive
answer.
When I first asked about it, the commonest response I got was along
the lines of: `The disk is buggered and will fail completely very
soon.' But that was 4 years ago, and the laptop still works fine.
Still puzzled,
Jim
