Did this just start happening with 2.4.9?!
Try a new hard disk cable. If this doesn't work, your drive could possibly not
support DMA mode or ... is faulty.
I had this problem with my drive, but unfortunately, the drive was on its' last
legs. I had error messages with or without DMA...

p.s. a quick search on "www.google.de/linux" or "www.google.com" should give a
few more clues.
p.s.s. The Mailing List Archives on "lists.debian.org" has a search tool: with
it you can find some other debian-specific answers/suggestion vis a vis your
question, as it has been asked a few times before.
