When searching for "dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21" on Google,
I get about 787 pages. It could be a kernel problem as well. I've
installed another kernel image (the 2.6.8-2-k7) and will see if I
get the same errors. After 20 minutes, I haven't got any.
I've just installed smartmontools, and there are several errors
at disk power-on, but the short test completes without error.
