hda:status timeout:status = 0xd0 {Busy}
 

Hullo i get this this problem when i start my server it's an HP proliant server DL 360 G5 , this error comes after 1 minute, who can assist the error is this one below

edbm02 login:hda: DMA timeout retry
hda:timeout waiting for DMA
hda:status timeout:status = 0xd0 {Busy}
hda:status timeout: error=0x00
hda:drive not read for command
hda: reset complete

Generally it's a dying drive. Replace it. You may be running without problems, but things like that often trigger DMA being completely disabled etc... which would have a big perfomance impact if there's any load on the disk itself.

Maybe try smartmontools to see what's going on with the disk (http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/). You should backup all contents, and replacing the disk is also a good idea, as already suggested.
