Hi, yesterday my linux machine gave me some smartd errors so i checked the disk in another machine and it had defective sectors, I installed a new hard disk on the original machine. Today this is being reported in logwatch. I have a Maxtor (200gig) as hda, a cdrom as hdc and another hard disk that is used for storage as hdd. All plain IDE (not sata)

Did you run an enxtended SMART self test on the drive? If two disk drives are reporting errors, I would start to wonder if the controller isn't at fault. The SMART self test should help with isolating the faulty component.

You do realize, that logwatch reports from system logs, and thus might very well have been reporting the errors from before the disk swap?
Maybe I don't understand the problem...

Matty,
Here are the logs for today. I waited a few days just to be sure (as Maciej said) that my /var/log/messages was not getting old info.

seems that the controller is bad. so the motherboard is bad.

In an ATA drive, the 'controller' on the motherboard is more like a host adapter like with SCSI (original ATA (AT Attachment) actually extended the ISA bus, minus addressing, across to the drive, thus 'Integrated Drive Electronics'). The 'controller' that is throwing the error is actually on the drive; more than likely this string of errors is a drive failure. Try another drive first, then check your cables (cable problems can do this too), then check your motherboard.
