Panic: ffs_clusteralloc: map mismatch

Maybe a question for freebsd-hackers.. not sure.. FreeBSD 4.4, P166, 128Mb, 3 HD's: ad0, ad1, ad4, as ata0-master, ata1-master and ata2-master. ata2-master is a Promise ata 100 controller (tx2 I think). For several months my server has been panicing, and I'm starting to think it's a bad harddrive
