FreeBSD 5.3 installation on Asus K8V-D impossible?

Hello,

I tried to install release 5.3 from CD without any success.  First I had
problems with the USB controllers which I then turned off in the BIOS.  This
would let the boot run up to this point:

[...]
ata0-master: setting PIO4 on VIA 8237 chip
ata0-master: setting UDMA133 on VIA 8237 chip
ad0: <Maxtor 6Y120P0/YAR41VWB) ATA-7 disk at ata0-master
ad0: 117246MB (240121728 sectors), 238216 C, 16 H, 63 S, 512B
ad0: 16secs/int, 1 depth queue, UDMA133
panic: isa_dmastart: bad bounce buffer
Uptime: 2s

I don't have any logfiles.  Here the system hangs.  I tried booting in
fail-safe mode, without APIC, without the onboard SATA Promise controller
(since I planned to install FreeBSD on my ATA harddisk), nothing helps.

My hardware specs (shamelessly created in gentoo amd64):

Ignore the USB & Promise controllers since those were turned off before I
booted from the installation CD.  I do have 1GB of memory (2 x 512MB) with
auto-configuration in BIOS.

This system runs fine under Windows XP, gentoo amd64 and Solaris 10 amd64 so
it shouldn't really be a hardware problem.
