I used to get the something like that:
Mar 22 13:14:40 mjf36 kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady \
SeekComplete DataRequest }
Mar 22 13:14:40 mjf36 kernel: hda: disabled DMA 
Mar 22 13:14:40 mjf36 kernel: ide0: reset: success 

I used to get it whenever there was a lot of disk activity.  I got rid of
it by disabling Intel 82371 PIIX (Triton I/II) DMA support in my kernel,
so you might want to try that.

I'm running slink and 2.0.36.  And if it's relevant I have an Intel 430TX
chipset and hda is a Quantum Bigfoot CY.
