Hi Horacio! I too get this message, but it started occurring when I attached an IDE CDROM to the same channel as the hard disk. I guess it's just stepping down or something. I was using a SCSI CDROM before and didn't have this problem.
My suggestion would be to put the CDROM onto the other channel and see if things are better. I certainly see myself buying an IDE card for this reason. Cheers, Jason.
