Hi tiemo,
for me these errors are from the disk, yes a bad harddisk,
seen that often here with older disks.
if you can boot from another distro or the gentoo cdrom do following test
cat /dev/hda3 > /dev/null # check the 3 partition of the disk
ATTENTION : > to dev/null NOT < or you wipe out youre partition
and wait if you see the same LBAsect numbers you have no luk replace you disk
i do not think is is udma or via support probleem therefore take a distro
thats works a do the cat test
oo take your disk to a other good working machine an locate youre disk for
example hdc
and do the
cat /dev/hdc > /dev/null # check the full disk
so you read the fully disk if no errors it is the chipset but if you have
errors i think is in garanty for the disk replace it where you buy it.
