  * IDE chipset trying to talk to a drive faster than it actually
    supports (either because your drive is one of the ones that
    reports rather optimistic PIO modes or the chipset support
    in your kernel is being too agressive (especially if you
    are using an SiS chipset, you might want a kernel built
    with support specifically for it rather than generic support)
