For me, the ACPI code seems to be the culprit for the same symptoms. Probably
in relation to the 8237.
I had problems first with UDMA, and the problem went away for a while when I
switched to PIO. Eventually it came back, and nothing fixed it, not even
changing drives and controllers, updating, etc... The system would hang for a
couple minutes, then dump core & reboot. This always happened when ksh was
running, and the backtrace was the same every time:
#0 0xc0632f7b in doadump ()
(kgdb) backtrace
#0 0xc0632f7b in doadump ()
#1 0xc06334d7 in boot ()
#2 0xc063384e in panic ()
#3 0xc07e511c in trap_fatal ()
#4 0xc07e4dc2 in trap_pfault ()
#5 0xc07e49cd in trap ()
#6 0xc07d1d68 in calltrap ()
#7 0xc05ec23b in devfs_lookup ()
#8 0xc0681702 in lookup ()
#9 0xc06810ee in namei ()
#10 0xc068e282 in stat ()
#11 0xc07e5460 in syscall ()
#12 0xc07d1dbd in Xint0x80_syscall ()
Eventually I tried booting without ACPI enabled. That was about two weeks
ago, and I haven't had a crash since then, when I was having crashes every 2-3
days before. I still have to move back to the built-in IDE controllers, but
since I saw the same behaviour on all controllers, I'm pretty confident it
should work there without ACPI now...

The people of Halifax invented the trampoline. During the
Victorian period the tripe-dressers of Halifax stretched tripe across a
large wooden frame and jumped up and down on it to `tender and dress'
it. The tripoline, as they called it, degenerated into becoming the
apparatus for a spectator sport.
The people of Halifax also invented the harmonium, a device for
castrating pigs during Sunday service.
