At the time of the problems, I was using the GENERIC kernel with ahc and
ahd compiled in.   I have since used todays snapshot, recompiled with
minimal drivers, and I've not had another panic.  What I have found,
though, is that when I tell my BIOS I've got drives on the secondary
controller (either Auto or ATAPI device) I get a few of the
timeout/resetting messages.   Since there's no point in the BIOS knowing
about them, I've disabled them - FreeBSD now runs perectly.  

The only other panic I've seen was a wakeup from acpi sleep mode 2, that
was fixed by the patch committed yesterday, and although mode 4 doesn't
work, I realise that the ACPI project has a lot of new code combined
with buggy hardware to figure out, and it's an
amazing implementation of ACPI FreeBSD is getting.
