Hi,

    I've had a new server for a little over three months now that's
    started running into some worrying ata troubles.  The server is 
    an Athlon XP 1800+, ASUS A7V8X M/B, 1GB PC2700 DDR RAM, 2x 60GB
    Maxtor (6Y060L0) HDDs.  I've also purchased a ``Sil 0680 ATA133
    controller'' that provides master ata channels for a spare 30GB
    drive and my CD-RW.  It's running 4.7-STABLE as of a few days

    The error messages and relevant dmesg output follows.  What do 
    these errors normally indicate?  Dodgy hardware?  The drives
    are pretty much brand new (< 3 months), as are all the other 
    components.  I don't think it's a cooling problem, either.  I've
    got a 120mm fan blowing cool air onto the drives, and each drive
    is fitted with an individual cooling unit (two small fans on the
    controller-side of the drive).  The air is never more than appro-
    ximately 20 degrees Celsius in that part of the box.

    Other random tidbits; the server runs VMware and fvcool, as well
    as a few other standard daemons, but the box is nearly always
    idle.
    
    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,

        Trent.
