Thanks, I used atacontrol to change the mode in which the drive was
working and the errors went away.  I changed it from UDMA66 to PIO0 and
no more messages.  My motherboard controller will handle the UDMA66 mode
so I do not know what the deal is.  My drives are on a ATA100 cable.  I
will look a little deeper so see what else is causing this.  I would
much rather operate the drive in UDMA66 mode than PIO0.

I will take a look in the archives to see what I can dig up.
