ad0: TIMEOUT the saga continues.

[borg]

Greetings all,

Today is the second time I get this message on my
console:

ad0: Timeout - write_DMA retrying (2 retries left)
LBA=18576259

later same exact msg and LBA=3157791

The machine freezes I had to hard boot it each time I
see this msg. It's random no time interval or pattern
and it's machine wasn't connected to the outside world
yet no network activity going on it was idle.

I noticed an earlier thread on Dec. 31 2004 posted by
Tom Jensen. Seems I'm not the only one.

It is really frustrating. This very same machine and
hardware as is nothing changed used to work with no
problem under 5.2.1 and earlier 5.x releases. I
planned to upgrade to 5_3 and I got this crap at a
very critical time. Someone would say supply more info
about the hardware, dmesg etc.. I will after I know
what is happening first. I installed 5.2.1 and kept
the machine running for 3 days without any problem.
It only happens on 5_3 raw install no apps no services
running.
