My best guess is that you have a problem with one of: 1) bad memory or too-fast memory timing 2) bad cache chip 3) EIDE not liking mode 4 Try slowing down the memory a notch or two and see if this has any effect on the problem. Also try temporarily disabling the external cache to see if this has any effect. Try setting your EIDE to mode 3 or auto. There are thousands of people with machines nearly identical to yours who have had no problems at all. This really does sound like bad memory. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
