hdb lost interrupt

[Manu Abraham <abraham.manu@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have been seeing this message (twice) "hdb: lost interrupt" on my
console. This happened overnight, so in the morning i had this click
click sound from my HDD, (my heart stopped for a moment on hearing the
click-click-click, thought was a dead HDD) not responding to anything
else other than a hard RESET. On RESET, things came back to normal.




On checking the syslog, the only thing that i could find in the log that
was relevant was this.

Any idea as to what could be causing the lost interrupt ?
