So I have a server which was running Slackware -current happily for the last 25 days of uptime. I upgraded to RC1 today, and when I restarted I noticed the following messages in dmesg. I do not know if they were present before the kernel upgrade or not. They seem to happen every boot now..
Code:

This set of errors shows up fairly often in dmesg. It's been up for a few hours now and the system seems to be working fine. ata5 is /dev/sdc and is mounted as '/'. This drive is only about a month old.
I've attached the output of 'fdisk -l' and 'smartctl -a /dev/sdc' if this is useful (wall of text warning..).
