Yeah; on a Via 82C686B IDE controller chip. Force it to UDMA66;
if that doesn't help, look for a BIOS update to change your PCI
settings. This was recently posted about on freebsd-chat.
According to one of the web sites, you can work around it by
disabling 2 PCI features in your BIOS, and setting the time-on
to 32ms or less.
Also on a CMD640B; the fix for that one is to not use the second
channel on the IDE controller, and stick a third party disk
controller card in one of the slots, instead.
Also on a disk on a seondary channel that wasn't jumpered for
slave mode, and when mixing disks from two manufacturers (no
your problem, if both are WD).
