Maybe you should activate

  __( '/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.27/Documentation/Configure.help' )____
 /
| Use multi-mode by default
| CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE
|   If you get this error, try to say Y here:
| 
|   hda: set_multmode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
|   hda: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
| 
|   If in doubt, say N.

in your Kernel config.

I have such stupid harddisks (!!!) too and since I have
compiled my own kernel, the error messages are gone.
