f11 2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.i686.PAE

I am getting endless messages:
  from tail /var/log/messages:

Sep 11 14:32:05 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0

this just keeps going,
I didnt notice this at first today, the system seems to boot normally

I haven't been using this f11 much at all since installing it about 1 month ago;
It was installed using hdinstall from my main os f10.
I mostly use my main f10.

any suggestions?
I dont know for sure,
but I think this was not occurring on my previous days, weeks
occasional boots of this f11.

Reinstall only option?

I havent done anything with fd0, so I am mystified.
