Hmm, are these new? Sure you don't have a bad IDE cable?

Oh, those aren't the errors I'm worried about; I've had those for a while and they're harmless. Those are due to the kernel running the IDE controller at a higher-than-supported speed. It gets errors for a couple seconds and automatically drops the bus down to a lower and safer speed.

That would be a bug, no? Sounds dangerous to rely on that.

The cable's aren't bad, I've tried at least 6 different 80-conductor cables that all work fine in other systems. The errors I _am_ worried about are these:

Mar 28 03:15:13 penelope kernel: hdi: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
Mar 28 03:15:13 penelope kernel: PDC202XX: Secondary channel reset.
Mar 28 03:15:13 penelope kernel: hdi: no DRQ after issuing MULTWRITE_EXT
Mar 28 03:15:13 penelope kernel: ide4: reset: success
Mar 28 03:30:13 penelope kernel: hdi: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
Mar 28 03:30:13 penelope kernel: PDC202XX: Secondary channel reset.
Mar 28 03:30:13 penelope kernel: hdi: no DRQ after issuing MULTWRITE_EXT
Mar 28 03:30:13 penelope kernel: ide4: reset: success

That sounds fishy to me. If the controller is having trouble communicating with the drive causing BadCRC errors, it could easily cause such errors as the above as well.
