No, only some frequency adjustment of the PCI-Express bus.
Update:
After some more days of running Fedora 14 those disk timeouts has
started to appear. After a search on the net about similar NCQ
problems I added this to /etc/rc.local yesterday, and so far I haven't
seen any disk timeouts since then:
for D in sd{b,c,d,e,f,g} ; do
echo 1 > /sys/block/$D/device/queue_depth
done
Eventually I wish to install CentOS 6 and hopefully I will not have
the same problem as with CentOS 5.5. In the mean time I will make a
try with Scientific Linux 6 alpha or RHEL 6 beta2 and see what
happens.
