Apologies for the narrative. The answer to your question is
in the next
and the paragraphs before the last interrupt storm. The
rest is me
attempting to be thorough. In short: Yes, overall I think
they're ok.
I just checked and the cable on the hard drive end said
'click' when I
pushed on it on the drive's side. A marginal connection
seems likely.
The other connections seem to be ok, if old ata33-only
cables. The cdrom
I swapped with a then-new dvd drive (IE it's not
sun-original) and it
should be ok. It was used for installing 5.4 and solaris 10
from dvd a
while back. The system has been mostly offline in the
meantime.
I'd like to note that booting 5.4 (which I did before and
after trying
to boot 7.0 for the first time) didn't have the problem,
but 7.0 did,
both while booting from cdrom and from hard drive, so
whether that was
an actual marginal connection, I guess we'll find out next
(see below).
I probably should've made the connection between the one
and the
other notice, altough not knowing what vector 2016 was, I
substituted
ignorance and went ahead. I noticed that *eventually* it'll
go through,
maybe prodded along by sending a couple of breaks, at which
point I
rolled a 7.0 base+man over the previous one. Once it booted
it stopped
complaining, mostly.
Then I checked out src and built a custom kernel.
Installing it would
get me DMA errors when it got to the twe module, altough
(again) brute
force eventually got around it.
On a lark I checked out the relevant bits of ports and
installed
smartmontools, and ran an offline test. The output looked
all green
except for a non-zero but low (14) Reallocated_Event_Count.
So I think
the hard disk drive and presumably the dvd drive are in
reasonable
shape.
While I'm writing this the machine sat twirling away just
as it did
before, *very slowly* twirling away loading the kernel
(which it did do
much faster even with the interrupt storm messages coming
up later) and
eventually getting to a bootstage, but it will then panic.
If this keeps
up after I get a fresh image on it, I'll ask for help about
that.

I might very well have forgotten something important in the
compile,
but I can't help but wonder why it started to load so
slowly after I
installed my custom kernel. Compile #0 worked, though. I'll
see what
happens when I get it to boot GENERIC again, compile again,
and so
forth.
Now, long story short: I double-checked the connections,
closed up
the case, and booted GENERIC from the install cd again.
Booting with
hw.ata.atapi_dma=0 and .ata_dma=0 makes the interrupt storm
go away,
altough it will still complain:
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00
GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider acd0 is
iso9660/FreeBSD_Install.
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00
Only three lines though. atapi_dma=0 and ata_dma=1 does the
same.
atapi_dma=1 and ata_dma=0 brings the interrupt storms back
again.
While in an emergency shell booted with hw.ata.atapi_dma=0
I managed to
trigger an interrupt storm by accessing the cdrom (`ls')
anyway:

I'm not sure why `zfs' reports an i/o error.
