Had the same kind of bug on a quite old motherboard with an intel
controller :

atapci0: <Intel PIIX4 UDMA33 controller> port 0xffa0-0xffaf at device 7.1 on pci0
ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0
ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0

Kernel and world are a bit older :

FreeBSD cragganmore.lacave.local 5.1-BETA2 FreeBSD 5.1-BETA2 #0:
Thu May 22 16:18:16 CEST 2003
root@cragganmore.lacave.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CRAGGANMORE  i386

(The bug did happen with the first boot on the generic kernel.)

Currently, I run it in PIO mode ; the machine is in use, I can't
afford much downtime.  If I can provide other information with the
machine running, I'd be glad to help.
