I am having a strange problem and need some help. I installed FreeBSD on 
a Maxtor 300GB IDE drive that is less than 1 year old. After one day, 
FreeBSD complains about DMA problems. I got a LOT of these.

ERROR MESSAGE:
kernel: ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> 
error=40<UNCORRECTABLE>

I googled for the error, and foudn a suggestion that the drive may be 
failing. So I ran Maxtor disk diagnostics and it says the drive is 
failing. So I start the RMA process.

In the meantime, I install a BRAND NEW Seagate 120GB 7200.7 hard drive. 
I install FreeBSD 5.3 on it. One day later, I get the SAME errors! Lots 
of em!

kernel: ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> 
error=40<UNCORRECTABLE>

What is going on? Is FreeBSD destroying my disks? Here is some info:

(I am using the GENERIC kernel with no modifications.)

I have the following hardware
- Intel D865PERL Motherboard
- Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz CPU
