This was happening to me with a damaged HD both on a NCR-810 and
AHA1542CF. The NCR complained about resetting ... and locked the machine
rock solid, while Adaptec was giving me those messages all the time if I
tryed to dd /dev/sda to null (because the Adaptec geometry differs from
NCR and I couldn't imagine how to mount the root fs from /dev/sda). So I
think you may consider hardware checking on your HD.
