I just had this happen to me the other day.  It could be several things.  I 
haven't ruled them out completely though.  First, it could be that you have a 
bad drive or a bad controller. My computer was setup with two 6.2GB ide drives. 
The first drive was on the first controller and the second drive was on the 
second controller.  When I got that message I replaced the drive and 
reinstalled debian.  I then recieved that message a few minutes later but this 
time on the second drive I had installed. I powered my computer off and came 
back days later.  Before powering it up this time I re-checked all the internal 
cables to make sure everything was secure and they were. But I haven't gotten 
that message yet(3 weeks later).

I just had a server lock up with the same messages on a slink (2.0.36 kernel) 
machine.
Well, ok just the first 2 messages. I came in this morning and the last two 
messages
on the console were:
hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hda: DMA disabled

I could still ping it, but that's all I could do.

We have 5 machines using the same hardware. Intel SE440BX-2 motherboard
(http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/se2/index.html), 384 megs of ram, 3com 
905b
network cards, IBM -DTTA-371010 harddrive.
