Completely fresh install

Cut from my dmesg :
atapci0: <Intel PIIX4 ATA33 controller> port 0xffa0-0xffaf at device 7.1 on
pci0
ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0
. . .
ad0: 6204MB <QUANTUM BIGFOOT_CY6480A> [13446/15/63] at ata0-master using
WDMA2
. . .
ad0: WRITE command timeout - resetting
ata0: resetting devices .. done
(message repeated 57 times)

>Description:

Syslog is constantly reporting /kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. done and
ad0:WRITE command timeout - resetting.

The problem has been occuring since the time of installation and even during
installation, and I've never encountered anything like this in previous
releases.

>How-To-Repeat:

I've installed this on three systems with similar environments and had the
same thing happen.

Just attempt an installation of 4.1 on this type of hardware and it should
occur.

>Fix:

Unknown currently
