The ATA (definitely not SATA) controller on my Dell Latitude C840 laptop has READ_DMA, WRITE_DMA problems, maybe 2-3 times a day unless I turn off DMA. It hangs for 3-4 seconds, logs errors, then proceeds. It isn't heavily loaded. I tried using Soren's ATA mkIII patches, and now it likes to panic about that same frequency instead of hanging, so I'm going back to the stock RELENG_5 config next chance I get. It's one of these: atapci0: <Intel ICH3 UDMA100 controller> port 0xbfa0-0xbfaf,0x376,0x170-0x177,0x 3f6,0x1f0-0x1f7 at device 31.1 on pci0 -- J. Porter Clark <jpc@suespammers.org>
