IDE errors

[Scott Thomson]

I get heaps of these errors, which I think is causing some of my md
constituents to fail, in particular hdc4 which is 12GB, making up the
largest md being 23GB.

Jan 11 20:20:29 gulag kernel: hdc: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady
SeekComplete DataRequest Error }

Jan 11 20:20:29 gulag kernel: hdc: read_intr: error=0x04 {
DriveStatusError }

A BIOS bad sector check showed that the drive is ok (its only 2 months
old).

The board is an Abit BE6.

Thanks
