Well, but even if it's an internal list, it must have been changed, since
in 2.2.0-pre1 this message didn't appear. At this point it appears to make
sense to check if this drive is really problematic. I would like to know
some reports from the other people on this list, that use such a drive
(WDAC 33100H) if they got problems with DMA on this drive. So this could
be examined and eventually the drive considered to be normal and removed
from this internal list.
Greetx!
