If it occurs one time, it is safe: it's hust means that the linux kernel
try to enable dma transfert with the disk but it fails so it roll back
to old eide modes.
If it keeps to occur, disable the ide0=autotune or just put an "hdparm
-d0 /dev/whatever_is_your_drive" somewhere in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
(where there is already an hdparm line for example).
ANother solution : i've seen some udma disks display this kind of errors
when they were on the same ide cable, but not if on different cable. You
may put your udma one on the first cable (ide0) and the other on the
second cable (ide1). Whatsmore, the bandwith may be more important.
