I've been having trouble with this one in UDMA66 mode, also on a BP6.
The system just hangs solid at random:
ad4: 13042MB <WDC WD136BA> [26500/16/63] at ata2-master using UDMA66
It works fine on UDMA33.
I notice that you have ad2 and ad3 running in UDMA66 mode. I didn't
realise this was possible; I'll experiment.
