I've been working on bringing up MINIX 1.5 with Bruce Evans' 386
enhancements on my new DTK 386sx with a WD-1006 RLL controller and
120Mb Seagate RLL drive.  Occasionally, but often enough to
be annoying, the machine locks up during a hard disk access
with my process (be it cp, fsck, or anything else) waiting on
FS, FS waiting on WINCHester, and the IDLE task just racks up
time.  Of course, I never kept track of the messages that might
have been relevant to this problem since I never thought I'd have
an RLL drive :-)  If anyone has seen this problem, please email me
about it.  Thanks!
