I have just installed Debian on a StrongARM RiscPC and I have noticed that

Is this a known problem? Is there anything I can do about it?
Could you have a look with hdparm if the unmaskirq flag is set for your
harddisk/cdrom? If not, this could be the cause because it might be that
timer interrupts are lost during disk transfers. You can try to set the flag
then and see if it helps.
