IDE Errors

I have 1.99.10 (pre 2.0.10) kernel.
At boot I get these errors. I have a 486 DX4/100 with ALI EIDE controller
on-board and I've compiled the support for this controller on my kernel.
These are the interesting messages at boot.

ide_setup: hda=autotune
ide_setup: ide0=autotune
ide_setup: ide0=ali14xxali14xx: base= 0x0f4, regOn = 0x30

hda: PIO mode3, t1=180ns, t2=80ns, cycles = 3+3, 3+3
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14

Both with the ALI support activated or not, at boot, I get seldom fsck error
(even if i correctly shutdown my Linux box) and ALWAYS this error at boot :

hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hda: read_intr: error=0x01 { AddrMarkNotFound }, LBAsect=894061, sector=71533
hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hda: read_intr: error=0x01 { AddrMarkNotFound }, LBAsect=894061, sector=71533
hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hda: read_intr: error=0x01 { AddrMarkNotFound }, LBAsect=894061, sector=71533
hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hda: read_intr: error=0x01 { AddrMarkNotFound }, LBAsect=894061, sector=71533

hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }

hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hda: read_intr: error=0x01 { AddrMarkNotFound }, LBAsect=894061, sector=71533
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:02, sector 71533

What has happened ? Is something badly configured or is my hard disk
somewhere broken (maybe at sector 71533)? What can I do? Should I back up
and update a Bad-Track-Table with BIOS features or fdisk ?

PLEASE HELP !!!!!

TIA
