safe mode

Hello,

I am having a problem getting 6.3 to boot on an intel atom mb. When it 
gets to
where it should identify the drive it hangs.

If I boot with no acpi it does the same thing.

If I boot with safe mode it comes up and identifies the drive but then
starts spewing the following errors:
ipfw2 initialized, divert enabled, rule-based forwarding disabled, 
default to ad
interrupt storm detected on "irq15:"; throttling interrupt source
ad4: 152627MB <WDC WD1600BEKT-00A25T0 01.01A01> at ata2-master PIO4
interrupt storm detected on "irq15:"; throttling interrupt source
interrupt storm detected on "irq15:"; throttling interrupt source
interrupt storm detected on "irq15:"; throttling interrupt source

FreeBSD runs but I continue to get these errors:

What exactly does safe mode do - I am afraid my forth skills are not 
what they
should be.

Is there some device.hints I could set to correct this problem? A 
pciconf listing follows.

I am stuck for now on 6.3 so moving to a later release 7+ is not feasible.

Additional info:
6.4 exhibits the same behavior. 7.2 boots okay in normal mode.

If there is a patch I could apply to 6.3 I am not averse to that.

Thanks for any help,
Steve
