We have released updated packages because updated packages have been

 Well that is when it is detected ...

 As I said ECC RAM errors are concerned with an error in storage - not an

 You are not talking about data transission - but storage

 If two or more bit errors occur then ECC is not able to correct them and
 you are likely to get data corruption.

Re: [CentOS] ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0xB887

Seems to be related to the sata ports that you dont have drives connected 
to :-


ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xB880 ctl 0xB802 bmdma 0xB080 irq 66
ata4: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xB480 ctl 0xB402 bmdma 0xB088 irq 66
scsi2 : sata_nv
ata3: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0xB887
scsi3 : sata_nv
ata4: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0xB487

If it was the ports that you have drives on then I would be more worried
