Bah!  It's happened again to my system.

It was fine this morning when I left for work, but now
hald-addon-storage is stuck waiting on Disk IO (state of D).  I looked
in the log and the only thing I noticed was that the ide-cd system
received a lost interrupt and timed out errors on both devices (hda and
hdb).  All I have on there are IDE CD-ROM drives and they are both
empty...

Anyone have enough experience to hazard a guess as to whether I have a
drive going bad or if it's the controller?

Or could the timeout errors be unrelated?
