Hi

My FC5 box recently behaving weired. It hangs sometimes but cannot
determine the cause yet. Its very random but not so frequent. Today
since I restarted the machine, I got the Kernel panic message during
boot time and freezed. Since I don't know a way to dump the screen
output, I copied by hand and here it is:

=========================
I have three dirves currently mounted in this box.
1st is fedora itself (ext3) hda
2nd is backup of ISO images (ext3) hdb
3rd is various backup files (ext3) hdd

According to message it seems like something wrong with my 3rd drive
but couldn't determine why this problem is happening.

Is this Drive Error?
can somebody interpret this message for me? I can't figure out if this
is hardware related error or the Fedora itself?

Thanks
