Strange DMA timeouts

[Lasse Bang Mikkelsen]

Hi

I keep getting these DMA timeouts under heavy harddrive load, ex. when
unpacking big tarballs, transfering from USB harddrive etc.

hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21
hda: DMA timeout error
hda: dma timeout error: status=0xd0 { Busy }

hda: DMA disabled
ide0: reset: success

Is this a sign of harddisk failure or could this be a kernel problem?

Thanks.
