Okay, ignore the "quiet splash" comment. This seems to happen randomly. Some times I can boot and some times I cannot.

I was able to catch more of the messages when the error occurs:

ata1.00 qc timeout (cmd 0x27)
ata1.00 failed to read native max address (err_mask=0x4)
ata1.00 failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 sec
ata1.00 failed to read native max address (err_mask=0x4)
ata1.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5)

The point that this occurs in the boot is right before the line "* Reading files needed to boot" is displayed.

Also, this is BIOS 1.0.3 for the Dell Vostro 200 desktop
