I'm getting this same issue. has anyone solved this?

Here's all the info I can think of:

1. I have two HD's, both set as cable select

2. I have a DVD/CD reader/writer drive

3. My drives are PATA

4. I'm getting slightly different error messages with reg. startup vs fail safe mode (I get the errors on every boot, as well as during running):
