SCSI errors

On a fairly regular basis (about once a day) I receive the following errors
in my logfiles:

Nov 16 15:11:02 draal kernel: SCSI disk error : host 0 channel 0 id 0 lun 0 return code = 28000002
Nov 16 15:11:02 draal kernel: extra data not valid Current error sd08:02: sense key Hardware Error
Nov 16 15:11:02 draal kernel: Additional sense indicates Internal target failure
Nov 16 15:11:02 draal kernel: scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:02, sector 2

The hardware appears to work just fine, however. The system functions
normally before and after this message appears. The message invariably
appears when I'm not around (so load is low, and the drive shouldn't be
thrashing).

As this is coming from sd.c, I suspect unimplemented flags/return codes or
something, and no actual error. Hardware is:

Buslogic BT-958 SCSI Host adapter
IBM Ultrastar 9GX (Ultra wide, configured via host adapter for 40MB/s)

Any suggestions?
