Hi

Just built a simple i386 machine with hardware which is nothing out of 
the ordinary.  There isn't a load on the box.  I'm the only user on my 
own network.  So, there shouldn't be any problems.

After downloading pkgsrc.tar.gz from...

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz

I find that I get the following error message...

pciide0:0:0 lost interrupt
	type: ata tc_bcount:1024 tc_skip: 0
pciide0:0:0: bus-master DMA error: missing interrupt, status=0x20
wd0e: DMA error writing fsbn 7198316 of 7198316-7198317 (wd0 bn 
8291996; cn
8226 tn 2 sn 62), retrying wd0: soft error (corrected)


when I do "tar -xzvpf pkgsrc.tar.gz -C /usr"

What happens is that the hard rive locks up solid until I so 'Ctrl-C' 
and then after that the error message that you can see above appears 
on the screen.   If anyone can suggest a way out of this it would help 
:)



There's nothing amazing about the hardware.  Kind of thing you might 
find in a skip outside a large multi-national...  400MHz AMD cpu with 
128Mb of RAM and any old PC i386 motherboard.... the output of dmesg 
is below....
