At initial bootup, I get some UDMA error messages,
several lines with something like:

  READ_DMA UDMA ... ICRC error ... LBA....

then the kernel panics and the system reboots;
the same error messages occur again etc. etc.
ad infinitum.

I have put this into the file '/etc/rc.early',
and that works. So then, after bootup, I get:

  # sysctl hw.ata.ata_dma
  hw.ata.ata_dma: 0
  # atacontrol mode 0
  Master = UDMA66
  Slave  = BIOSPIO


What does that mean? UDMA66 and hw.ata.ata_dma=0 ?

And why then is UDMA66 not automatically choosen
at bootup?

Thanks,
Rob.
