[Cialug] Hard Drive Problems?

[Todd Walton]

root keeps getting mail that says:

--------------------- Kernel Begin ------------------------

Should I worry?  It's a slightly old IDE drive.  Or is this something
that happens all the time?  I'm new to Fedora, and I haven't been
privy to these helpful root mailings before.  So I don't know if this
has been happening for years now and I just didn't know about.

Would you worry?
