I just attempted to install 5.2-RC1 and had to give up before the
kernel on the bootstrap floppy finished booting.  When it tried to
access my Serial ATA disks, it started slowly spitting out a possibly
endless stream of error messages.  This one is typical:

	ad4: WARNING - READ DMA recovered from missing interrupt

I eventually gave up and aborted the boot.  I suppose I could disable
the SATA controller in the BIOS, but I don't see much point in doing
that since the SATA disks are an essential part of my system.

I have a 2.8 GHz hyperthreaded P4 on a Gigabyte 8KNXP motherboard.
It uses the Intel 875P/ICH5R support chipset.  FreeBSD 4.9 and 5.1
boot and run just fine on this system.

This is the output from "dmesg | grep ata" when running FreeBSD 4.9:
