With 2.1.56 the I've got the following message:

hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 {Busy}
end request: I/O Error. dev 03.03 sector xxxxxx

The only solution to get out of this is to push the reset button.
I think this error exist since 2.1.2x. Because one of 2.1.2x was
the last one running on my PCs. The error sometimes occurs short
after reboot, on the other hand somtimes my PC is running about
4 hours.

2.0.31 is running without any problem.

My System: 486dx4-100, CMD640 IDE-Controler, 3 harddisks.
