Could some Linux guru please kindly help ? I am trying to debug the
issue of a desktop that has for the last two weeks started having
kernel panics at boot time. This machine has been running flawlessly
for the last 8 years, and has had three OS upgrades. I am using
memtest to try to understand the issue.
The following is part of the memtest output:
Reading all physical volumes
Buffer I/O error device hdc logical block 0
......
......
Buffer I/O error device hdc logical block 15
Illegal node for this track or incompatible media (asc=0x64
ascq=0x00)
The failed "Read 10" packet command was /dev/hdc: read failed after 0
of 4096 at 0 Input/output error
and similar set of mesaages

After this udev checks correctly, and hardware, storage and audio are
initialized

However sometime in the middle of the boot process, a kernel panic
occurs with message
Kernel panic -- not symcing : Fatal exception in interrupt
