>Description:
Periodicly the ata driver whill report:
ad0: READ command timeout - resetting
ata0: resetting devices .. done

This preatty consitantly happens after the hard drive has been sitting
idle for a bit (~20sec?) and then there is an IO request (a similiar
message is reported for WRITE requests)...There's a short pause (4-5sec)
and then everything works fine...

I'm running FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE (installed from original ISO) on my Sony
PCG-748 laptop.  
The kernel reports:
atapci0: <Intel PIIX4 ATA33 controller> port 0xfcd0-0xfcdf at device 7.1 on pci0
...
ad0: 3909MB <FUJITSU MHC2040AT> [7944/16/63] at ata0-master using UDMA33
acd0: CDROM <TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-1802B> at ata1-master using WDMA2

Basicly Generic kernel + APM, sound and minus extranous hardware
>How-To-Repeat:
Wait a bit (~20seconds) with no disk activity and then perform READ/WRITE
request on IDE drive.
