 I'm seeing a similar problem on an old (800-MHz original "Slot A"
 Athlon) system with a Promise SATA300 TX4 card (PDC40718) and two
 Seagate 300GB SATA drives (ST3300831AS), running 6.1-RELEASE-p9.
 
 This experimental system locked up twice with the same kinds of
 messages that Jeremy Chadwick reported -- once when I did a "sync"
 after copying the /usr file system from an old PATA disk to one
 of the new SATA disks, and again as I was trying to synchronize
 the second SATA drive to the first via "gmirror".
 
 This is admittedly an old CPU, motherboard, and RAM, but the system
 has been running quite reliably until now.
