DriveReady SeekComplete Error

I just installed YDL2.0 on a Blue&White G3-300Mhz and it basically
fell on. It's doing everything I need it to. The only thing is that
I get a lot of dma_intr errors in my /var/log/messages. I can read
files and write files to the disk and haven't noticed any problems
except for these errors.

I did a Google search and some things were that the cable could be
too long (not likely in a Mac), cable could be going bad, or the
drive might be getting ready to fail.

It's a pretty simple box; CD-ROM, HD, Rage128. No SCSI or anything
uncommon.

Any ideas what might be causing this or what can be done to fix it?
I really don't want to have to replace the drive if I don't have to.

From dmesg :
