Here's part of dmesg message from another DragonFly machine
(my laptop I mainly use):

It didn't lock up, but reading from the disk always timed out.
If I change the mode to ATA33 or one of PIO mode, the timeout doesn't
occur. The drive can do ATA100 but the controller only supports up to ATA66,
Unpatched ata driver has no problem anyway.

I've only tested ATA Patch #6, so I'll try older patches from you later to
determine which version worked and which version didn't.
