I too have seen this message on my hard disk. Strangely, I get this
only when I am using RH6.1. When I am running Debian, I do not see
this message. I tried disabling the power saving features, etc and
still ended up getting these frequently. As Arun suggested, I even ran
badblocks on my disk and got no errors. 

Thanks,
