I just replaced a hard drive in one computer, because the previous one
died last night.  (It was a 3.5 years old WD, so I thought that it had
to happen).  Well, I was getting these errors with the previous
harddrive.  Now I completely reinstalled the system, and I'm getting
same error messages with the new one.

ad0: HARD READ ERROR blk# 25418671
ad0: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode
ad0: HARD READ ERROR blk# 25418687 status=59 error=40
ad0: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode
ad0: HARD READ ERROR blk# 25418687 status=59 error=40
ad0: HARD READ ERROR blk# 25418687 status=59 error=40

After these errors the box just rebooted.  This looks scary.  Could it
be the controller?  The box is an older P166, running 4.1.1-S.

I don't quite believe in coinsidence of identical problems happening
to successive hard drives.  The new one is a very nice 13G IBM
DeskStar 7200rpm, 2Mb cache.

Any ideas?
Many thanks,
