I would think that it would depend on how the hardware is being used. If the disk with errors happens to hold the swap partition, then it's difficult to blame the kernel for crashing. If it's simply reading data, I don't think that a kernel panic is acceptable. Mike -- Michael P. Soulier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...
