Hello,

I have been running 2.6.18 for two months and the last couple of days these 
error messages have appeared in my logs 
(sata_promise kernel module, sda:SATA sdb:PATA disks):

                                               ata1: command timeout

and

without any other ill-effects that I know of(I did smart tests on the drive; 
all passed successfully).
I have read that hddtemp may be the cause of this (I am running version 0.3) 
so is there any reason
to worry and prepare for a HDD replacement?

Kind regards.
