Another slant to this story that I've experienced personally. A system I
maintain was experiencing the same exact error messages at 4 am when log
rotation occured. Subsequent trouble shooting discovered that the drives
and ide interface were ATA33 or ATA66 and the ribbon cable was a generic
40 pin cable. Replaced cable with the high density 80 pin variety and
that resolved the error messages.
