I am getting the same error with the latest from cvs and with 0.6.0. 
Tired both with and without the busmaster patch. Definately logged in as 
root.

This is what I get during boot.

PIIX3: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:01.1
PIIX3: chipset revision 0
PIIX3: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:01.1 to 64
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0xc000-0xc007, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio
    ide1: BM-DMA at 0xc008-0xc00f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio

I found 2000 is using pio as well.
