This very problem was in the list yesterday/today - 

see "Interrupt timeouts (was: **URGENT** Hardware problem?!)".

Part of the reply (from Greg Lehey) was:

--------start quote-------

I think the problem is either defective hardware (motherboard), or
incorrect settings.  It's quite possible that the hardware is broken
by design, though it's becoming less common.  All motherboard
manufacturers check their boards against Microsoft, so they normally
don't have any bugs which affect Microsoft, but other bugs may affect
FreeBSD, and unfortunately not many manufacturers check against
FreeBSD.

I note the status says <rdy, seekdone, drq>, indicating a DMA request
active.  2.2.8 doesn't support DMA, so maybe you'll be lucky if you go
into the BIOS menu and disable DMA (if this is possible).  Another
alternative would be to install FreeBSD 3.0 and enable DMA there.
