Nope, this is quite normal from many UDMA disks and Linux . Try forcing the disk into PIO mode 3. See if the errors go away.
I have two systems, different drives, different controllers, different motherboards report this error until I forced the drives into PIO Mode 3 (one is a Seagate, one is a Maxtor). It is a funky Linux driver problem or a funky drive problem that other operating systems ignore and Linux is hypersensative to.
