Can you bisect to see when this problem starts?  I'm pretty sure it's 
software, either interrupt-related or the libata driver itself.

See http://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Libata_error_messages for a 
full explanation of that error message.

Most notable:  "DRDY" == device ready == device says everything is OK, 
from it's perspective.  "timeout" usually means an interrupt wasn't 
delivered from your ATA controller, when we were expecting one.
