Boot up a 2.4.19 kernel on those machines and see if you still get the error
messages. I know that there are problems with IDE in 2.4.20, but I do not
know the specifics, nor if they have fixed them in 2.4.21-pre1.

I hope these aren't production machines. You should not generally run *-pre
or development series kernels on machines that need to be stable.
