/dev/hda is probably your cdrom. try
$cat /proc/ide/hda/model
mine says "HL-DT-STCD-RW/DVD DRIVE GCC-4247N"... which is a DVD ;)

• Try ejecting the "CDROM", and check if the errors occurs again.
• In the BIOS, have you configured SATA as "compatible" or "AHCI" mode ?

Testing/Lenny has better T61 harware support than Etch/Stable, but Lenny/Testing it
