I am at a total loss and am hoping that someone can tell me what is going
on.
For the last month my machine has been crashing. It will just be sitting
there running like over night and I will come in and look at it in the
morning and find it in an infinite loop with this on the screen.

ad0: timeout waiting for DRQ - resetting
ata0: resetting devices .. ata0-slave: timeout waiting for command=ef s=10
e=84 done
ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
ata0: resetting devices .. ata0-slave: timeout waiting for command=ef s=10
e=84 done

In doing some research I believe this to be connected to some problem with
DMA but I have nothing but the primary HDD mounted when this accurs and have
tried installing on 4 different HDD.
Is this a problem with my MBO or is it something in FBSD?

Machine:
K7VMA - MBO
VIA VT8365 Northbridge
VIA VT82C686B Southbridge
1g AMD Athlon
512m pc133 SDIMMs

Any further information needed I will be happy to provide.

AL Grant
