Hardware problems ?

Hi,

I found the juicy bits below in my kernel log yesterday: I'm not
sure whether they represent a hardware or software problem.

The system in question is a Cyrix PR166+, with 80MB Ram, 3
harddisks, running a fairly standard debian hamm.

As far as I can tell, I was recording wav files using gramofile 1.4,
and tkmixer. The soundcard in question is a standard soundblaster
16, and it's the only pnp device in the machine.

hdb is my windows and swap device. Haven't checked but I don't
think I needed to go into swap at that moment.

Any suggestions as to what I'm looking at here ? A disk about to go
boom ? Or is this normal ?

Thanks for any help.

TimT.
