I currenlty trying to install gentoo on an asus a8v system and I am booting from the AMD 2006.0 min cd. I have ran badblocks on a drive that has already failed twice when running centos(different linux distro) and it throws this error for badblocks.


#> badblocks /dev/sdb
end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 3597512
ATA: abnormal status 0xd0 on port 0xc407
ATA: abnormal status 0xd0 on port 0xc407
ATA: abnormal status 0xd0 on port 0xc407
ATA5: comand 0x25 timeout, stat 0xd0 host_stat 0x1
ATA5: translated ATA stat/err 0xd0/00 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/47/00
ATA5: status=0xd0 { Busy }



This continues on for a bunch of sectors. Is it time to replace the drive?
