Restart into single-user mode
(e.g. get the lilo boot: prompt and enter "linux single").

Then do an

  e2fsck -c /dev/hdb3

That will check for and map out any bad blocks.

Hi folks,

I started having hard drive problems on my machine.
Here's what I'm getting on system console:

hdb: read_intr: status=0x59
        { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hdb: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }
        CHS=1005/8/49, sector=460200
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:43, sector 4
60200

A little bit about my system:

Linux vgrinche 2.0.27 #1 Fri Dec 20 13:24:40 EST 1996 i486

Disk /dev/hda: 15 heads, 34 sectors, 1001 cylinders
