One of my CentOS boxes has started giving me errors. The box is CentOS-4.4 (i386) fully updated. It has a pair of SATA drives in a software raid 1 configuration.

The errors I see are:

ata1: command 0xca timeout, stat 0x50 host_stat 0x24
ata1: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }
Info fld=0x1e22b8, Current sda: sense key No Sense
ata2: command 0xca timeout, stat 0x50 host_stat 0x24
ata2: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }
Info fld=0x1e2598, Current sdb: sense key No Sense

If it was just coming from one drive, I would say it was a bad drive, but this is happening on both drives.

Can anyone give me a starting place to diagnose this?

Cables? Connections? Power supply going bad?

Already reseated all of the cables. I even moved the drives to two different SATA ports on the MB.

Power supply...maybe, but not my first guess. I may swap it out later if I can't find any other cause.
