Hi,

I noticed hda status errors in my iBook G4's dmesg quite a long time
ago, but never looked any more... Today I just ran tests with hdparm and
this looks like really reproduceable:

Results are different whether I try it only or more, see below.

Any hint about where I should look at, and what kind of bug may cause
this error?

Just stop messing with the transfer speeds with hdparm ;) This is
bad, the ide-pmac driver will automatically pick the optimal speed
for your drive.
