Logwatch is reporting the following on an FC1 machine:

>> WARNING:  Kernel Errors Present
>>    EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,2...:  741 Time(s)
>>    end_request: I/O error, dev 03:02 (hda)...:  386 Time(s)
>>    hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { Uncorrect...:  386 Time(s)
>>    hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }...:  386
Time(s)
>> 
>> 3 Time(s): ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter core team

Then, there are 386 sets of the following:

>> Dec 15 04:09:06 hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete
Error } 
>> Dec 15 04:09:06 hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError },
LBAsect=1578738, sector=1048592 
>> Dec 15 04:09:06 end_request: I/O error, dev 03:02 (hda), sector 1048592 

with various numbers for LBAsect and sector.  Is this a hardware (drive)
problem?  Do I need to replace my drive?  Or what?
