Hi,

I've installed SLS 1.01 on my notebook from Sager with 486DX2, TFT color LCD
and "VESA local bus" (they say) hard drive 240MB.  Everthing seems fine,
except for the two problems:

1.  Suddenly linux says "HD timeout" and then repeeatedly
      reset
      reset failed:d0
      reset
      HD controller times out status = 0xd0
      still busy
    etc.  I must reset the machine.

2.  On booting, the default text mode (by pressing SPACE key) works fine, 
    but the other two (SVGA text modes I guess) completely fail and give 
    me a white LCD :-).

I have disabled HD auto sleep mode but it has not had any effect.  The video
controller is Cirrus Logic CL-GD62x5, according to the manual. 

Could anyone please email me comments/suggestions/solution to the problems?
I appreciate any info.  Thank you for your attention.
