I found another interesting thing: It seems those errors only appear when I use mozilla thunderbird! Any idea what tb is trying to do to the hd? As I said earlier kernels didn't report such errors. (Are those actually errors?)
I'm having similar problems (posted to linux-ide last week). Its not just thunderbird though, I can easily reproduce this under heavy disk activity (e.g. rsync'ing lots of data with a local server while unpacking/patching a kernel).
