This is in virtually every case a hardware difficulty which is hidden by
less sophisticated (but more expensive) video games (aka Windows 95) for DOS
7.1; so, IF there is such a "conservative" kernel setting, what would it
bring? The users gets a seemingly running kernel, but pays efficiency and
maybe hides persisting hardware difficulties; later on wondering about
Oopses and the like?
Shouldn't these settings be up to the BIOS and left untouched? I mean, if a
certain drive causes problems on your SCSI bus, it will most likely do so
not only with Linux, but other OS'es as well (even if they don't tell you
so), so a less conservative BIOS/chipset configuration is more likely to
really solve the problem, isn't it?
