That said, I'm fine with being wrong and seeing a bug fixed :-). I usually get several each time I buildkernel, such as last night: ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=5208191 ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=23670111 ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=5843715 ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=40407615 Robert N M Watson Computer Laboratory University of Cambridgehelp
