I took a second look at your original message, and since it's an irq timeout, it could just be that your drive is slow to answer a command and then is confused by the error recovery code. Having two identical laptops makes this easy. If your other laptop has the same problem, then it's software (or buggy hardware that the software hasn't figured out how to work around) if it doesn't, then it's hardware and there are a couple of things that can be tweaked to see if it fixes things.
