Meant to reply to this sooner, but you know how it is :-)
I added the following lines to my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file, and it sets the
defined latency ($LAT) to any SATA and IDE pci devices (as matched by the
egrep pattern.
I use HEX value "b0" as stated in the link that was posted.
LAT=b0
for DEV in $(lspci|egrep "(SATA|IDE)"|awk '{ print $1 }')
do
setpci -v -s $DEV latency_timer=$LAT
done
