Help with Hard drive error messages

[Daniel Mashao <daniel@comgate.ee.uct.ac.za>]

What do the following errors mean:

hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=1640763,
sector=103023
0
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:06, sector 1030230
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=1640763,
sector=103023
0
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:06, sector 1030230


This occurs on two machines. Where, other than in the code, can I get
information on these error messages? And what are the implications of the
messages?
