Dear Helpers:

When I do manage to boot up my Fedora System, I get these remarks on the
screen:

[     11.034216] ata5: COMRESET  Failed (errno =-16)
[     21.050448] ata5: COMRESET  Failed (errno =-16)
[     68.199577] ata5: COMRESET  Failed (errno =-16)
[     78.235808] ata5: COMRESET  Failed (errno =-16)
[   117.824319] ata5: COMRESET  Failed (errno =-16)
[   127.860509] ata5: COMRESET  Failed (errno =-16)
[   161.385877] ata5: COMRESET  Failed (errno =-16)
[   171.422106] ata5: COMRESET  Failed (errno =-16)

After that, the system goes ahead and boots.  The next time, I get the
same number
of errors, but the numbers are different.

Do I need to fix this?  How?

That looks like a drive that's dying. Could be a CD or DVD drive that's
having issues.

To find out what device it is, try:

        # cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Look for the stuff under "Host: scsi4 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00". That
should be the device.
