We removed the disk and used another ata-controller. There it works.

ad1s1e: hard error reading fsbn 438711007 of 219355472-219355631 (ad1s1 bn
438711007; cn 27308 tn 126 sn 49) trying PIO mode
ad1: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode

but why does it stay at PIO mode ? Shouldn't the driver enable DMA again
after we got a block error anyway ?

Here are the settings from the controller where it crashes:

ATA channel 0:
    Master: acd0 <FX4830T/R02E> ATA/ATAPI rev 0
    Slave:       no device present
ATA channel 1:
    Master:  ad1 <ST3120020A/3.30> ATA/ATAPI rev 6
    Slave:       no device present

ad1 runs at DMA33

atapci0: <ServerWorks ROSB4 ATA33 controller> port 0xb800-0xb80f at device 15.1
on pci0
ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0
ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0
