Sometime Today, Raju Bathija assembled some asciibets to say:

You may have one of those buggy hard disks that you are warned about in
the documentation - somewhere in ide.txt I think.  Basically, dma in the
2.4 kernel has problems with some ide chipsets, and should be disabled.

Either do that through the kernel (recompile), or use hdparm in your
rc.sysinit script:

/sbin/hdparm -d0 /dev/hda
