SubjectRe: sense key error?

Hi all. During excessive disk activity, I received the following error
from 1.2.26, libc 5.2.18. I was having some real problems with my 2940
and later libc versions. (at least I think that was it..) The kernel
reported these errors, hence linux-kernel, but aren't they just scsi
driver problems?

Mar 2 04:21:28 discserv kernel: Additional sense indicates Track
following error
Mar 2 04:21:28 discserv kernel: CD-ROM I/O error: dev 0b:00, sector 112
Mar 2 04:22:01 discserv kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout :
pid 425870, scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 Read (6) 00 01 44 01 00
Mar 2 04:22:01 discserv kernel: aic7xxx: (abort) Aborting scb 2, TCL
6/0/0
Mar 2 04:22:01 discserv kernel: scsi0: MEDIUM ERROR on channel 0, id 6,
lun 0,CDB: Read (6) 00 01 44 01 00
Mar 2 04:22:01 discserv kernel: Current error sr0b:00: sense key Medium
Error
Mar 2 04:22:01 discserv kernel: Additional sense indicates No seek
complete

A SCSI MEDIUM ERROR means that the target device could not read the physical
media for some reason. There's no way a MEDIUM ERROR is a driver problem.
It's also not unheard of for a CD-ROM to have problems being read, and read
just fine even a short while later.
