Yes it was. Below is the snip-it from my dmesg. That is also where the
first error appears. Though it is different in subsequent with the last
line as can be seen in the quoted message fragment just below this part.

It works nice under 2.5.x, but gives the sda error 5+ times just during
boot under 2.4.x. I wonder if someone forgot to backport all or some
patches.

Thanks,
