I think it's caused when I enable DMA on my AOpen AP58 motherboard (some SiS chipset, I forget what). Machine is 3.3-STABLE; I just assumed that there was some problem/lack of support with the SiS chipset, disabled DMA, and left it at that. (Performance was not really important) Cables and drive were known to be good.
