I had these errors with two Seagate disks (850 MB, 2.3 GB) when they shared
the _same_ IDE channel (/dev/hda, /dev/hdb). When the 2.3 GB disk was moved
to the other channel (/dev/hdc) as _master_, the problem disappeared 
completely. The second disk tolerates an IDE CD-ROM as slave. 
(Kernel 2.0.36pre15, AMD K6-233, Soyo 5TF (?) Triton board).
