Linux on PowerPC FAQ-O-Matic : System Configuration : Disks :
I keep getting media errors with my Jaz/Zip/SyJet disk
target 4: Sensed a Recovered erroroccurs and is displayed on top of X Windows, the console, whatever.
"This has been talked about here repeatedly... I think the consensus is
that if you have to run mklinux from removable media, you have to put up
with these. There's some finger pointing involved as to whose fault the
message is, either the media or the kernel. It's been suggested that
turning the drive's write verification off from MacOS may help, but in
my case it didn't - and this doesn't sound like something you'd want to
turn off anyway."

The errors are really just an annoyance - they seem to resolve themselves
without corrupting any data. Just find your window manager's "refresh display"
command, or I think you can run 'xrefresh'.
