I can't claim any expertise with these particular messages but based on what I've read around the net:
1) Your drive is starting to fail. Some people have reported errors like this when drives are going bad.
2) You have old/uunusual hardware and maybe it can't do dma - try the boot argument ide0=nodma
3) Bad cables. Check connections, replug, swap.
If you type the error message into google and search you may find more possibilities.
I normally only see messages like this for cdrom drives when there is no media in the drive.
