I don't know if this is related, but -current running on the Asus A7v
which has a Ultra/66 Via chip and Ultra/100 Promise chip will lock up
solidly (no ddb) if a drive is put on each Ultra/100 Promise channels.

One rare time it did let one break into DDB.  I saw:

        pciide 1:1 bogus intr     <this message repeats at high rate>
        ...
        syscall_plain (1f, 1f, 8, bfbfdc7c, bfbfda04)  syscall_plain+0x95
