- Every once in a while, my Linux 0.98pl3 system give me a "HD timeout" message.
- No harm seems to be done, but it's rather obnoxious. I'm using a Western
- Digital RLL controller (I forgot the model number, maybe WD1006-something?) on
- a 386DX-25 motherboard with 4 MB of RAM. Is there a parameter I can tweak to
- fix this?
