Hmm, are these new? Sure you don't have a bad IDE cable?
Oh, those aren't the errors I'm worried about; I've had those for a while and they're harmless. Those are due to the kernel running the IDE controller at a higher-than-supported speed. It gets errors for a couple seconds and automatically drops the bus down to a lower and safer speed.
The cable's aren't bad, I've tried at least 6 different 80-conductor cables that all work fine in other systems. The errors I _am_ worried about are these:
