A little more on this. I got mail from one other person having the same
problem, so I'm now less inclined to believe that this is a bad disk or
something.

Here are some syslog entries from the time I was having the problem (the log
file was corrupted as part of the problem, so some of this is garbage):

I'm compiling a kernel with DMA turned off to see if it helps.
