Hard drive problem... S-ATA/ATA and DMA error messages

Hi,

Having recently upgraded my motherboard to a brand new Asus P4V8X-X with
S-ATA and added an S-ATA disk I experience some problems I find kind of
weird.

System is installed on 160MB S-ATA disk ad4 and my previous 160
ATA/UDMA133 is on ad0 mounted as /big. Booting up, dmesg gives me this
confusing message:

atapci1: <VIA 8237 ATA133 controller> port 0xfc00-0xfc0f at device 15.1 on
pci0
ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci1
ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci1
[...]
ad0: 156334MB <Maxtor 6Y160P0> [317632/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA133
ad4: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 cable or device
ad4: 152627MB <ST3160023AS> [310101/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA33

How come FreeBSD kernel thinks my S-ATA disk is only capable of UDMA/33?
The S-ATA disk is connected to the motherboard by it's own S-ATA cable,
thus not the problem of two disks with different speeds on same cable.
Beeing new to S-ATA I may have misunderstood things, but the way I see it,
the S-ATA bus and regular ATA bus is isolated and should not bother
eachofter, right?

Next thing is that I today tried to move ~70GB of data from ad0
(ATA/UDMA133) to ad4 (S-ATA) disk. During the cp process I got these
messages:

There are 2 different errors here. First we have a "hard reading error"
and then "DMA problem". The DMA problem, at ad0 (ATA/UDMA133 disk, weird
enough) tells me that I might be wrong about that S-ATA and regular ATA
disk does not bother eachother. Someone please explain this... the disk
has been working 100% fine on my old motherboard afaik.

The "hard reading error" is supposed to be about damaged sectors on the
disk. Is it always like that, or could the errors come from some kind of
bus error, ie same source of problems as the UDMA errors? The disk is
rather new and shouldn't have broken sectors. I suppose.

I'd really like som kind of tip on where to start. At the moment I can't
think of anything that's wrong.
