You get "BadCRC" errors. They usually indicate bad cabling.

Are you sure it is _exactly_ the same error?
If it is "task_no_data_intr" one then it is harmless (means that command is not supported by a drive).

RedHat has its own bugtracking system for their kernels.
Please check if you can reproduce the problem with the current vanilla kernel from kernel.org.

AFAICS the current kernel for RH9 is kernel-2.4.20-31.9 and you should be using it instead of > 1 year old 2.4.20-8 version.
