Possible disk failure

[Steven Rostedt]

Hi Jens,

Since you helped me out before, I'm going to ask for some more help ;-)

I just recently purchased a new workstation from HP, and after fighting
with getting grub2 working the way I want, I kicked off a ktest run to
create a true min config. It basically disables options from the .config
file until it finds a .config that that boots but will fail if you
disable any of the configs that are set.

Anyway, in the middle of this test, I started getting these nasty ata
errors again (like the ones I got with the failed HD that you helped me
out with on G+). But this is a brand new spanking machine (with a new
HD), but I could have gotten a lemon.

Anyway, the full dmesg is at:

And here's a smartctl dump:

Any help would be appreciated. Is this HD a lemon (need to return it?)
or did something else go wrong that is fixable.

Thanks!
