I've been seeing the same kinds of errors with a Promise SATA300 TX4 controller and a pair of Seagate 300GB SATA drives. Apparently, people have been having similar problems with SATA drives on Promise controllers for quite some time now, in both FreeBSD and Linux systems. Lots of reports and requests for help, but no one so far has admitted to having a clue as to what is causing it. > I'm tempted to use atacontrol to change the mode . . . .
