There's a known issue with sata_nv on nForce4 controllers running in
ADMA mode in 2.6.20 (the first released kernel with ADMA support) where
commands can time out when switching between NCQ commands and non-NCQ
commands. Hopefully this is fixed in 2.6.21-rc. This doesn't seem to be
the issue here, since his system isn't using ADMA mode, for reasons
unclear to me..
