Looks like the DMA errors are back in 6.1-RC with ATA or at least
similar DMA errors. The new one froze my machine with an error like
"Error while performing DMA_WRITE command". A new twist to the
WRITE_DMA Timeouts of 5.4. I am starting to think that they aren't
going to get the ATA issues all worked out anytime soon so they are
changing the errors. ;-)
And of course no automatic reboot on panic.
Do you have a backtrace?
Did you use a 80- or 40-ATA cable?
If you've configured your drives to do UATA-66 or faster then FreeBSD (or
any other OS for that matter) will crash if you connect a second drive...
