I see this same problem with my Pentium 166 boxes.  Both have ASUS 
motherboards (sorry, I don't have the model number but they are P166/512K 
cache/dual IDE controller boards).  The error seems to pop up under heavy 
loading.  I do _not_ have WD drives - they are Maxtors:

  wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <Maxtor 72004 A>
  wd0: 1916MB (3924144 sectors), 3893 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
  wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): <Maxtor 72004 A>
  wd1: 1916MB (3924144 sectors), 3893 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S

I saw the problem once after upgrading to 2.1.5 but it does not seem to 
have recurred.  The surfaces do not appear to have been damaged at all; 
at least I've not lost any files and the systems seem to recover fine.

Anyone else see this with Maxtor drives?

Much obliged,

Mike
