I had a period of getting this error too. In my case I could hear my hard disc resetting itself, sometimes several times in successsion. After month of getting this error I finally found the reason, the power plug of the hard disc (the one with the 4 pins) was broken and sometimes failed to provide power for a very short time. If that is not the problem recheck your termination. Torsten -- I haven't lost my mind -- it's backed up on tape somewhere.
