This problem just started happening about two weeks ago.  The symptom is:
whole machine locks up, hard drive light on the PC case is on solid.  This
remains for about wo to 30 seconds and then everyhtign frees up again.
Here's the /var/log/messages line:

Jun 10 10:45:47 magicbus /kernel: wd1s1b: wdintr: timeout waiting for
status reading fsbn 12308 of 12304-12351 (wd1s1 bn 12308; cn 18 tn 9 sn
32)wd1: status ff<busy,rdy,wrtflt,seekdone,drq,ecc_cor,index,err> error
1<no_dam>
Jun 10 10:45:48 magicbus /kernel: wd1s1b: wdstart: timeout waiting to give
command reading fsbn 12304 of 12304-12351 (wd1s1 bn 12304; cn 18 tn 9 sn
28)wd1: status ff<busy,rdy,wrtflt,seekdone,drq,ecc_cor,index,err> error
1<no_dam>

I can get an ide of what's not happeneing, but I have no idea where.  Some
insights would be very appreciated.
