One common cause of the BadCRC messages is when one is using
UDMA/66 without an 80-way cable. To the original poster: try
to use hdparm(8) to see if disabling UDMA/66 solves (if you
are using UDMA/66, that is).
There was a long discussion about this in the LKML some time
ago and I've also learned this lesson the hard way.
