Glad that is working out for you. I am not into PCI low level bugs they are
very
difficult to indentify and in certain cases impossible to fix.
To give you a little hint:

FWIW, I have a VIA chipset in my machine that is running -STABLE and I don't
have such problems. I don't know if I have the same chipset as you tho, as
I'm not at the machine to check my dmesg.
I put an decent about of stress on the drives and don't seem to have any
lockups at all, slowdowns yes
[on IDE bus lockups]
I found that my IDE cdrom regularly caused lockups of FreeBSD in the
5-10 second variety. I would suspect that any misbehaving IDE device
can do this.

Have you checked your syslog to see if you are getting disk errors?
Also, I noticed that you have a VIA chipset and I know that
at least with the Bt848 driver they have caused havoc. I would
stick to Intel PCI chipsets.
Not sure if your motherboard supports or not do you have
the latest microco

Make sure that you have dma enable on your IDE disks . Basically, soft-updates
does short bursts of disk activities which can crash a disk or slow down
a system during the disk i/o operations using PIO. Yes, I have seen disks
spin mindlessly due to the "intensive" short burts of disk io activitie
I don't know why I'm on the cc for this thread, but please remove
