Got back from a trip only to find my webserver largely dead. When I
tried to reboot with knoppix, first the bios noted problems with the
hard drive. Knoppix eventually started, but when I tried to mount the
hard drive, I got a lengthy cycle of error messages of the form:
hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hda: read_intr: error=0x01 {AddrMarkNotFound }, LBAsect=86579028, sector=2
until eventually it mounted the partition (worked with 3 of the 5
partitions -- two wouldn't ever mount).
While it seems pretty apparent that the hard drive is toast, I would
appreciate understanding the error messages. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Just a guess here, but "badblocks" will run on your damaged
partitions and may fix them enough to mount or at least repair
them by fsck.
My second comment is that I have seen these errors come from
faulty drivers for SCSI adapters or poorly supported motherboard
chipsets, more times than I like to mention. I have not seen
it in newer kernels however, and it seems unlikely to be causing
to your problem, but I wouldn't rule it out.
