[plug] something fishy about this hard drive

[Leon Brooks]

To save anyone else on this list from wasting hours: if you want to install
Linux on a Western Digital Caviar drive (in this case a 45GB), disable UDMA in
the *BIOS* else it (on Azza mainboards at least) misconfigures the drive and
renders it useless under Linux (gives continuous status timout (0xd0) - Busy
messages instead of results).

Traverse: To ski across a slope at an angle; one of two quick and
          simple methods of reducing speed.
Tree:     The other method. -- from "The Skier's Dictionary"
