A flakky IDE controller at best. As long as it is not reporting media 
errors you might be OK.

You might have either not compiled the driver for your IDE chipset into the 
kernel and the controller is working in compatability mode which might 
cause interesting problems.

In general I'd said the disk/machine was very busy and a interrupt got dropped.
