It's not Debian specific, it's a message from the kernel. It's telling you
that weirdness is happening when it tries to write data, but that it can
reset the IDE bus fine.
As you're on Debian, install the package ide-smart, which will ask your hard
disk (if it's a recent hard disk) to report any weirdness with your disks.
It can predict when your disk is about to fail by looking at the performance
of the disk and comparing that to some thresholds.
