    It looks like the same issue that we have been complaining
    about irt the ATA driver in 5.4/stable.. Several people have also found
    it to be a problem under 6.0. In my case, it happens with a plain old
    PATA drive (via 8235 controller). It runs fine under PIO4 mode, any
    DMA modes result in the same errors you got.

    I was working on updating and installing the ataMkIII patches since
    that's the only version that is being supported :^< But they are
    supposed to merge the beta code that is in 6.0 into 5.stable and
    it sound like the same errors are occurring.

    I'm seriously considering installing Gentoo and wash my hands of it.
