2.4.18-rc3aa3: dma_intr: status=0x51 errors

[Shane <shane@zeke.yi.org>]

Hello,

I just tried running Cerberus for 15-20s and I got these errors in the
logs. I do use the nasty binary drivers but I replicated the errors from
a fresh boot without them ever being loaded. Can someone tell me what
these errors mean? And are they dangerous? Are there some docs on these
error codes such that I could translate them myself without having to
bother you guys?

The motherboard is an MSI KT133A
I use LVM on that drive and ext3
The controller the drive is on is a Promise Ultra 133 TX2
The drive is:

I also ran badblocks -v -s -n -b 4096 -c 128 /dev/hdg1 65000 55000 and
it found nothing.
