I have a problem with a Western Digital Expert 29100 hard disk under
FreeBSD 3.2 on a Gigabyte AX motherboard

When I turn on DMA (with flags 0xa0ffa0ff) I get constant DMA errors everytime
the drive is accessed.  Other brands of drive work ok on that motherboard with
DMA turned on.

Is this a problem between FreeBSD and that brand of drive?
