Hello: I have a similar problem which I have not been able to resolve. It seems that I can access the discs from the console after boot (read and write is fine - note that the disc is classed as (rw) in /etc/fstab), but NOT after firing up X. Once X has started, or at any time after I terminate it, I get messages similar to those you quote below (and they won't stop until I hit the reset button).
The problem appears to be a buggy chipset. I am using a first generation Pentium with SCSI onboard (an NCR 53C810 rev 1), and there is some sort of conflict with the PCI bus. The solution is either NOT to use X, or to replace the mainboard and SCSI with new parts.
