I would say the first thing to do is to disable the DMA support while still in 7.2 and reboot to see if those errors go away. You may also have to disable it in the BIOS as well. If they do, I would then say go ahead and try the install again. To change the hard drive settings use hdparm (man pages are available).

If it's a driver issue with the chipset (which it really looks like) then unless they have a magic kernel it will likely continue. Good luck. I hope this helps.
