Did you actually tried the dma trick with atacontrol ?
Concerning dmesg : atapci0: <VIA 8235 UDMA133 controller> port
0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6,0x170-0x177,0x376,0xdc00-0xdc0f at device 17.1 on pci0
It is also supported by ata(4)
I first thought the error occured due to high temperatures, but I doubt
it is the right explanation. Although I cannot figure out a better
explanation.
