I had a similar problem and i changed system cases where i was getting a
ICRC error and FreeBSD refused to load or even mount the root fs, it was
also giving errors with something to do with the ATA something or other,
it turned out to be the cable i used after rebuilding the system in the
new case, i used a normal EIDE cable instead of a ATA cable :-/
hope that helps(probably not)

I hear ya! However, moving back to an older kernel changes the
severity of the problem from a timeout every 2 to three minutes during
heavy activity to about 4 or 5 in a 24 hour period. That doesn't
sound like hardware to me.

i have these same errors on my VIA 823x series chipset. however, the
problem is only with the secondary device (acd0 in this case), and might
be stemming from some other problem.
