Is the error message indication a hardware problem?

Ray Bell — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 15:02:34 GMT

We have three db servers, Proliant DL360 and each server has the same information in /var/log/messages so I'm not sure if all of the server would have the same problem. Anyway here's the error messages:

Apr 9 07:37:10 asp3db2 kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
Apr 9 07:37:10 asp3db2 kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown
Apr 9 07:37:10 asp3db2 kernel: hda: ATAPI reset complete

So would this mean that disk hda is going bad or what? It strange that three different servers would have the same message.

Yes the hda is a cdrom so we are nbot using it so why is it still complaining about it being busy?

if its possible, put there some cd inside and check if you have some new messages.
