The problem was isolated.

I purchased four Maxtor 7Y250M0 drives, but one causes DMA error and
another one is very slow, and other two drives works fine.... both on
ICH5 and SiI 3112A Rev.00.

I'll test these drives on windows later, but I can't do it soon
because there's no Windows slice on this machine.

Sorry for noisy message (but I couldn't imagine that two of four
drives were broken....)
