Description of problem:
Installing Red Hat Limbo fails becase of irq timeouts while trying to access 
the hard drive (hda). I get these messages:

<4>hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
<4>ide0: reset: success
<4>hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
<4>ide0: reset: success
<4>hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
<4>end_request: I/O error, dev 03:07 (da), sector 7
<4>hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }

and sometimes, I get this too:

<4>hda: drive not ready for command

sometimes status=0xd0 is status=0xd2.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install limbo
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  irq timeouts and everything gets really, really slow because 
the kernel needs to reset ide0 every 5 seconds.. I waited 15 minutes before a 
single package could get installed, once the installation screen appears, and 
not even one started yet.

Expected Results:  Packages that get installed at a reasonable speed

Additional info:

It could be hardware specific (or gcc-3.1 specific), this is happening on a 
A7V333 motherboard, using the VIA KT333 chipset and the VIA 586B southbridge. 
It is updated to the latest BIOS (1008). The hard disk is a WDC Caviar 30GB 
(5400 RPM). The other two IDE drives are a Sony CDX1611 CD-RW (on hdc) and a 
Afreey DVD reader (can't remember model) on hdd; the hard disk is therefore on 
its own controller, and I don't seem to have any problem accessing the two CD-
RW/DVD drives.
