Promise SATA300 TX4 problems in CURRENT

Hi,

I just bought a Promise SATA-300 TX4 card for my computer. I use a SCSI drive on
an adaptect controller for the system disk. I started encountering problems when
trying to copy data from the filesystem on one of the ATA disks connected to the
Promise card. I get these messages:

ad10: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=37814559
ad10: FAILURE - device detached
subdisk10: detached
ad10: detached
g_vfs_done():ad10s3a[WRITE(offset=114688, length=16384)]error = 6
g_vfs_done():ad10s3a[READ(offset=23412736, length=131072)]error = 6
g_vfs_done():ad10s3a[READ(offset=23412736, length=65536)]error = 6
g_vfs_done():ad10s3a[READ(offset=23478272, length=131072)]error = 6

Then if I try to use the system (dhclient in this case), it panics with:
panic: vinvalbuf: dirty bufs

However, I tried installing 6.2 to see if the issue remains there as well. And
it didn't. I works excellent in 6.2. However, I'd like to run CURRENT on this
machine. I've attached relevant part of messages, and a core dump can be found
at http://twoflower.idi.ntnu.no/crash 

Is this perhaps a bug in the ata-subsystem?
