This just means that ide_pci can't set the timing by itelf, seeing as it's a
"generic" chipset, and each chipset has its own weird ways of setting up the
timings. It's usually nothing to worry about -- the BIOS usually sets things
up for a decent mode (usually PIO mode 4, which uses almost the same timings
as multiword DMA mode 2), and if your disks aren't misbehaving, you don't
need to do anything. 

PS: Could you do pciconf -l and send me the results? I have this feeling
your board has an Acer chipset (or, at least, it's not Intel, Promise, or
VIA).
