Just for info,
I've got the same problems with some Hitachi (old IBM) disk drives.
It appears to be a bug (!!!) with the IDE cache of the drive. There's
some patches from Hitachi web site; peharps with Maxtor (lot of problems
with Maxtor's drives).
So, look at their web site. I don't think it's an XFS problem.
Just another thing. Do you have this problem if you power off, then
power on your computer ?
My problems happened just after a reboot (init 6), but never after a
power off.
Go luck

After getting fed up, I reinstalled "/" as ext3 on /dev/h da
(My Maxtor hard drive) and checked
for bad sectors this time while installation. /dev/sda(3ware RAID)
still has my home directories and has XFS on it.
Everything went thru well (as I was expecting) and my
redhat is running for now.
The h da: dma_intr errors are gone while starting startx at least.
But of course that doesn't mean that they wont come in the future.

Sometimes, when I try to run some application from KDE like
"Terminal"
another core appears in the directory.
That's rather alarming behavior. Have you checked your
messages log for any errors?
I do not believe that my hard disk is broken! I have a maxtor which
ran perfectly till yesterday with the ext3. I installed XFS
today and
The error is indicating that you've got a bad sector.
