Hi,
I patched the BIOS of that computer with the latest patch.
The good news is that it solved few things (not related) that I
thought to myself that they are not right, and in I was shucked to see
that I'm actually right ...
The bad news is that it did not solve my problem at all.
I tried all of the dma speeds possible to use, and only using
ide=nodma on grub parameters works.
I have two more ideas, but I would be very glad to get additional
ideas from any of you, if you have any ...
My first idea:
1. Compile your own kernel.
2. Try completely different hard-drive (I have an old hd, with dma of
133 or might even less).
Any more ideas you might be able to give me ?

Hi,
Thank you all for your answers.
I turned off the dma support using:
/sbin/hdparm -d0 /dev/hda
and the errors ended...
Now, how can I make it permanently off in linux boot (what parameter
should I give for grub) ?
