It turns out it was my VFAT formatted Jaz drive that was giving these
errors... it would be useful if the kernel said what partition had
the bad file_cluster in the above messages. Anyhow, I reformatted the
drive and the errors have gone away. I believe they started after a
freezeup... there is no fsck for VFAT, right??

| Sep 27 15:37:44 cb26038-a kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
A dejanews post said "disable Ultra DMA in BIOS"... which I did. So far
so good. I had assumed hda was what was giving the file_cluster
errors... it was not.
And re: my CD-ROM showing up 6 times when ide-scsi was inserted:
| This is caused by the "probe all LUNs" switch in the kernel config.
| Turn it off and it will stop. 100% guaranteed.
Hm, I thought I turned that switch of many kernels ago!
Dang cosmic rays.
Thanks, folks!
