All, 

I just started seeing warnings like the following:

---
pciide0:0:0: lost interrupt
        type: ata tc_bcount: 65536 tc_skip: 0
pciide0:0:0: bus-master DMA error: missing interrupt, status=0x21
pciide0:0:0: device timeout, c_bcount=65536, c_skip0
wd0e: device timeout reading fsbn 3115824 of 3115824-3115951 (wd0 bn 15744048; cn 15619 tn 1 sn 33), retrying
wd0: soft error (corrected)
---

I just saw a burst of 7 of these on my console.  

This machine has been running about 36 hours since I ran a fresh install 
of NetBSD 1.5.2 on a new disk.  These are the only unusual messages I've 
seen from this system.  Since the last part of the message reports the soft 
error was corrected, I hope this doesn't mean my system is seriously failing.

Advice on where to start investigating?

Thanks.

Here are all the messages:
