I've had those problems, and they're a real PITA. In my case i had to
re-arrange my cables 15 umpteen hundred times before they would position so
I didn't get any loss of contact, and turn of athcool . ( yes, athcool, if
you have it, could be your problem, i didn't believe it at first myself )

A drive doesn't have to be even mounted for those errors to show up, but it
sure helps. My recommendation is if you have a disk which is frequently
dropping out on you like that, you switch to JFS, XFS really doesn't play
nice if it thinks the drive is plugged in twice ....., and JFS has
impressive recovery ability.
