Would not desirable behaviour be to log as many errors as possible, but
recover from the hardware problem? I see no reason why any software, user
space or kernel space, should crash due to errors in a peripheral. Bad RAM is
one thing, but errors on a CD? I disagree. This is incorrect behavour for any
OS.
