That appears to be an IDE hard drive (hda is the master on the 1st IDE
controller) error. If I am reading it correctly, I suspect you may have a
serious problem with it. You are more likely to find better help in a redhat
linux forum or mailing list with this issue.

Without an idea of what video card you have, the XF86Config file
(/etc/X11/XF86Config), and output from the X server (/var/log/XFree86.0.log)
there is not much we can do to help you. Please send those files as an
attachment to the mailing list and people will try to help you.
