I get this same problem with a cyrix 6x86MX-PR200, SiS 5577 Chipset mobo. I have a 3.4gb drive on the on-board ide, and a 4.3 on a Promise UDMA controller. I only get this error at boot, and only from the drive that is on the onboard controller. (I have to have a drive on this controller since it also has BeOS on it, if you were wondering.)

I had this happen once, i believe, and i solved it by using a shorter cable. You might want to give that a try. I havent had any data corruption/other problems since i swapped out the cable for a shorter one.

I didnt have this problem at all with kernels before 2.0.34, and i didnt have the problem with 2.1.x kernels. Since everything works ok, i'm not too worried about it, but it does cost me about 20 seconds at boot time. ;)
