[ale] help deciper dmesg

[Taylor Robison]

I've had the same problem with an old box.  Sometimes the kernel seems 
to lose contact with the drive completely.  I've had some weird lockups 
I blame on this.  I never had any trouble before I stuck in this old 
seagate 21.gig drive.  The previous 2.1gig western digital did great 
till it was called to the big PC in the sky.  I did a few googles on it 
a couple months ago and didn't come up with anything I could use.

So, sorry.  I have no answers, but I feel your pain.
