As I have posted before, this appears to be coming from the PCI part of
the "EATA_DMA" driver, in /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/eata_dma.c.  This
appears on my systems at work, and they boot just fine.  (I'm a little
confused why, since autoconf.h says #undef CONFIG_PCI; oh, well.)

Unless you in fact have a PCI EATA (extended ATA?) board, your problems
lie elsewhere.  If you do, I guess you may need to get a different one.

See also /usr/src/linux/drivers/block/README.ide.
