new error for FAQ.  Researched in mailing list archives to develop

+             disk, and the page attempt has hung trying to access the
+             disk for more than 20 seconds.  It might be caused by bad
+             blocks on the disk drive, disk wiring, cables, or any
+             other disk I/O-related hardware.  If the drive itself is
+             actually bad, you will also see disk errors in
+             <filename>/var/log/messages</filename> and in the output
+             of <command>dmesg</command>.  Otherwise, check your cables
