For me, the ACPI code seems to be the culprit for the same symptoms.  Proba=
bly
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 fo=
r 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...

My configuration:

VIA 8237 motherboard, WD 80GB ata drive & Plextor 52/24/52A CD-RW

	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.
