I used to get the something like that:
Mar 22 13:14:40 mjf36 kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady \
SeekComplete DataRequest }
Mar 22 13:14:40 mjf36 kernel: hda: disabled DMA
Mar 22 13:14:40 mjf36 kernel: ide0: reset: success
I used to get it whenever there was a lot of disk activity. I got rid of
it by disabling Intel 82371 PIIX (Triton I/II) DMA support in my kernel,
so you might want to try that.
I'm running slink and 2.0.36. And if it's relevant I have an Intel 430TX
chipset and hda is a Quantum Bigfoot CY.
