Ok, I can see the explanation about the Highpoint chip.
Based upon the actual error messages, I would examine the cables and speed settings first.
My interpretation of the errors is that the card is having trouble finding a speed setting that will work with what I assume are ancient hard drives. The 42MB and 100MB drives I would guess are old, and don't speak DMA, or even a high PIO mode, and therefore are giving trouble when the card tries to set what the card thinks is a reasonable transfer speed setting.
I would trust that too. These are really ancient hardware, maybe 10+ years old, and certainly not DMA-compatible. Since they all fall back to PIO0, it´s better to force them to not higher tahn PIO-2 or 3. It´s certainly not a controller issue, since Highpoint chips are well supported. ;) Note: according to Seagate´s reference guide (last updated 5/13/91 o_O for this disk), the ST3120A is plain ATA-bus, what means it´s probably only PIO-0. I wouldn´t expect better for the Conner. 
 Good luck,

Out of curiosity, what happens if you were to unplug all the older drives from the card, and boot with only the newer hard drive attached and on (and maybe the CD drive, that should be fine as well)?
If the errors go away I would then assume that it is a speed setting issue with the older drives, and then look further in that area. You might want to include Soren (the ata code maintainer) a little further down the line (if you search the -current mailing archives for ata, you'll find his e-mail address, I don't have it handy), if it does turn out to be a setting, which he may be better able to explain than I, being that he understands this stuff much better. Who knows, it may be something that needs a sysctl tunable, or maybe an alteration to the code, but some more troubleshooting should be done.
Trying out the cables and that stuff first means you don't have to delve into a custom kernel at the moment, so try what's easiest first, and go from there.

Thanks for responding. I'm not sure what to do about this. Someone in FreeBSD questions said it was related to atapi or SCSI. The 1200A card has a Highpoint HPT370 chip on it. I can see atapci1, ata2, and ata3. Maybe the hard drives cause these driver failures?
I can try to take out atapifd and see if the errors go away, which means I will have to build a kernel. Does anyone know what causes the below FAILUREs? 

Thanks,
Rob

The card itself is supported fine, the box I'm composing this
mail from is
using solely an Adaptec 1200A card, running 5-STABLE (which
was originally
installed with 5.2.1, and have been tracking -STABLE since).

I don't see the Adaptec card getting probed in your dmesg...
I see the
onboard SiS controller (atapci0 with ata0 and ata1), and a
HighPoint card
(atapci1 with ata-2 and ata-3), and the errors I see are
coming from the
ata-2 and ata-3 channels, which are on the HighPoint controller.

I have failures like the below:

ata2-master: FAILURE - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE
status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED>

What do I do to fix these failures?  All of the "FAILURE"


drives are


on my Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A card.  My secondary built-in


IDE is dead


so I have to use this card as an IDE replacement.

Thanks,
Rob

Note that NetBSD doesn't have this problem.
