  I can reliably reproduce this: it occurs on systems with relatively
small amounts of RAM (e.g. 64/128Mb), and I'm working on fixing it.

  A (horrible) workaround is to copy a few directories at a time,
cleanly shut down, reboot, and copy some more directories. Repeat
until the filesystem is populated.

  The underrun problem has been very intermittent for me. I've had it
happen on the eMac, but not on an ibook or B&W G3. To investigate
further you'd need to rebuild/reboot a kernel with perhaps some more 
diagnostic printouts in the ata code where the error occurs. Also,
it may be worth trying to determine situations involving heavy
disk activity where the bug is readily tickled.

later,

Peter.
