I've seen exactly the same message with an IBM disk (less than one year
old, and not a laptop).  It happens infrequently.  It looks quite
different from the messages I used to get from a drive that was going
bad, but only time will tell for sure with this one.

Looking through the logs, I found a few different ones, which might be
more serious(?):

wd2: interrupt timeout:
wd2: status 58<rdy,seekdone,drq> error 1<no_dam>

wd2: interrupt timeout:
wd2: status 58<rdy,seekdone,drq> error 60<uncorr,id_crc>
