>Environment:
Unfortunately I do not have access to my box right now, so I can not give you the uname -a output, but I have secured the dmesg output. Please use that, thank you.
>Description:
I think the problem is apparent from the dmesg output below, e.g. when I forget to disable DMA on my VIA 82C586, which is according to the Hardware Notes supported since at least FreeBSD 4.4, I constantly get DMA write timeout messages and during these timeouts any application that uses the harddisk freezes for a short while.
The problem occured with generic kernels of FreeBSD 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2. It does not seem to be a problem with the harddisk or the controller, as I tried two harddisks from different manufacturers, and DMA works fine on at least Windows, Linux, NetBSD and OpenBSD.
After disabling DMA everything works fine, but as you can probably understand that doesn't really satisfy me.
