I used 5_2_RELENG latest until my server hung.  I have an ABIT IS7E 
(ICH5) with two Maxtor 160GB SATA drives.  It works for a week, but a 
HDD-intensive process can generate a DMA timeout which halts the whole 
system.  Sadly my production server cannot boot with latest 5_2_RELENG 
kernel if hw.ata.ata_dma is zero.  I have to use a GENERIC kernel from 
my older 5.2.1-RC2 install CD.
