Lately our webserver running FreeBSD 4.1.1 Stable has been rebooting
unexpectedly. I've been getting the following in my /var/log/messages on
boot:

> ad0: UDMA ICRC READ ERROR blk# 239 retrying
> ad0: UDMA ICRC READ ERROR blk# 239 falling back to PIO mode

Originally we thought the hd was failing but after replacing it with a new
drive, doing a backup from the old to the new, those errors would show up
both when trying to backup to the new disk as well as when booting with the
new drive mounted. Either its a coincidence that both drives are bad or
there is something wrong with the IDE controller on the main board. My
questions is would this cause a system to reboot? often the system will
crash when taring up folders with high i/o from the hd, especially when
taring up the /usr folder for backups. Is the system crashing because it
tries to read a bad block?

Any response would be appreciated for this is machine is in production and
downtime is getting costly =\

Thanks,
