The first reaction is that this is a hardware thing.

EXCEPT.

I'm seeing it too, only with recent kernels.

May 14 07:43:43 agamemnon kernel: hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status =3D=3D =
0x64
May 14 07:43:43 agamemnon kernel: hda: lost interrupt
May 14 07:43:43 agamemnon kernel: hda: dma_intr: bad DMA status (dma_stat=
=3D70)
May 14 07:43:43 agamemnon kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=3D0x50 { DriveReady=
SeekComplete }

Happens only with heavy disk IO, running 2.5.69-mm3, happened with a few
earlier kernels and sadly I don't remember which kernel it started on.

<Electro> LordHavoc: i got black lines on stuff in realtime mode, i'll
take a pic, and it runs slow
<LordHavoc> this is why I LOVE ATI drivers, they're so creative with the
geometry I give them...
<LordHavoc> they turn a refined and very specific standard for the pixel
by pixel handling of polygons into an interpretive artform
