It seems that your hard disk has problems with DMA access. Check your
/var/log/messages and see if you get this error frequently. If so, then
disable DMA on your hard disk by adding the following line in /etc/rc.local
hdparm -d0 /dev/hdd
I'm assuming that hdd is your hard disk.
Incidentally, what brand and model of hard disk are you using?

Vinu.
