Unfortunately, Ultra-DMA is re-using the BadSector field for "CRC error",
and we forgot to change the message to display "CRC error" rather than
"BadSector" in the 2.0.x back-port (the 2.0.36 pre-patches correct this).

Ricardo, try using a shorter IDE cable and check if it helps reducing
the number of the IDE messages.
