error installing 5.3-stable - WRITE_DMA

[craig]

mmm, i did an md5 check against the ISO and the disk and both checksums
matched fine.
i guess its not the cd.

any other suggestions?

out of desperation, i'm going to install a linux distro that i happen to
have found laying about (as only linux disks can...)
if it installs fine, then i would assume that the *hardware* is fine and
that the problem must lie with fBSD.
is that a fair assumption?

or am i missing something else.

much thanks

Hello
Don't you think you may have bad media? I mean have you checked the md5 sum
of downloaded and burnt on low speed?
