I am having ATA_DMA errors on 5.4R and 5 STABLE up to June 16 (haven't done a cvsup again). It doesn't happen on 5.3R or lower.
The exact error message is below: It happens within a few hours of use. The laptop will then reboot, and fsck must be ran. After fsck the timeouts happen within a few seconds of booting. Is this a known issue?
