FreeBSD yuri.toddpw.net 4.1.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.1.1-RELEASE #0: Tue Sep 26 00:46:59 GMT 2000 jkh@narf.osd.bsdi.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386
>Description:
Problem occurs after roughly 20 minutes of continual load.
Irreproducible SEGV's, and kernel mode segfaults that panic, or spontaneous reboots.
Happens with both UDMA66 and UDMA33 drives.
Forcing PIO mode with "sysctl -w hw.atamodes=pio,pio,pio,pio" restores sanity.
However it is not clear how to install such a machine without risk of corruption.
NetBSD 1.4.2 and 1.5ALPHA2 have similar trouble, but exhibit symptoms quicker (5 minutes instead of 20).
[NetBSD reports the IDE controller as VIA Technologies VT82C586A IDE Controller (IDE mass storage, interface 0x8a, revision 0x10)]

>How-To-Repeat:
Order an Iwill VD133Pro from www.motherboards.com.
You actually get a VD133PL but the price is correct so it's no big deal.
Mine were version 1.6, the current version according to www.iwill.net.
Set up a reasonable system (P3 733EB, 128MB PC133, Barracuda II ATA66).
Install FreeBSD 4.1 or 4.1.1; if that succeeds then do some compiles.
Two looping builds in parallel usually kill the machine in 20 minutes.
>Fix:
Use FreeBSD 2.2.6 or other earlier version which does not have atapci0.
Disable atapci0 and force the use of wdc0/wdc1 which are PIO only.
These are only workarounds however, and it is not clear how to bootstrap such a machine with just the install CD.
