That is strange. The only device driver I know of that gives a "time out
AGAIN" message is the wds driver, and you do not have such a controller
in your system. So it would seem that the wds driver mistakenly
probes another device as being a wd7000 controller.

When exactly do you see these messages? Could you perhaps send an overview
of the boot messages that you see (I know, it's a pain to re-type them
but it would be very useful).
