Dec  6 14:52:59 poterne kernel: wd0: status 58<seekdone,drq> error 0

We just change an old ISDE for a brand new IDE Maxtor 420meg, and 
upgraded to 2.0 at the same time.

Our old ISDE at the end of it's agonising life was giving us terible 
headaches with bad sector errors every day. At the end we had corruption
in our system files... anyway...


Our system has been up for a few days and we had a crash yesterday.
The messages up there is the only suspect thing in our messages file.
It happend about 30 mins prior to the crash. 

Could it be the reason of the crash? 
Sould we worry about it ?
What does it mean?

Any feedback welcome...
