I ended up checnginh For me, the ACPI code seems to be the culprit for the same symptoms. Probably in relation to the 8237. I had problems first with UDMA, and the problem went away for a while when I switched to PIO. Eventually it came back, and nothing fixed it, not even changing drives and controllers, updating, etc... The system would hang for a couple minutes, then dump core & reboot. This always happened when ksh was running, and the backtrace was the same every time: #0 0xc0632f7b in doadump () (kgdb) backtrace #0 0xc0632f7b in doadump () #1 0xc06334d7 in boot () #2 0xc063384e in panic () #3 0xc07e511c in trap_fatal () #4 0xc07e4dc2 in trap_pfault () #5 0xc07e49cd in trap () #6 0xc07d1d68 in calltrap () #7 0xc05ec23b in devfs_lookup () #8 0xc0681702 in lookup () #9 0xc06810ee in namei () #10 0xc068e282 in stat () #11 0xc07e5460 in syscall () #12 0xc07d1dbd in Xint0x80_syscall () Eventually I tried booting without ACPI enabled. That was about two weeks ago, and I haven't had a crash since then, when I was having crashes every 2-3 days before. I still have to move back to the built-in IDE controllers, but since I saw the same behaviour on all controllers, I'm pretty confident it should work there without ACPI now...

Key id 0x19C987F5 === The people of Halifax invented the trampoline. During the Victorian period the tripe-dressers of Halifax stretched tripe across a large wooden frame and jumped up and down on it to `tender and dress' it. The tripoline, as they called it, degenerated into becoming the apparatus for a spectator sport. The people of Halifax also invented the harmonium, a device for castrating pigs during Sunday service. -- Mike Harding, "The Armchair Anarchist's Almanac"
