[ale] Possible errors on Hard Drive

[List]

Not sure what is going on, but here's a thread from someone else who had 
the same problem with a Promise SATA 300: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-ide@vger.kernel.org/msg11384.html (see 
previous message in thread for log extract - looks a lot like yours).  
He proposes a fix which may or may not help you.
