freebsd stable - Oct 2004 - Where to get 5.3 Stable

Everyone keep on saying they have problem running 5.3 stable. But is 5.3 
stable really out? I can't find it anywhere. Only 5.3 I got is the RC1
version,
but it always give me the ad0 Warning: DMA_READ and DMA_WRITE INTERRUPT ...
message, so I installed 5.2.1 instead.

You'll need to get the FreeBSD sources via CVSup or some other means and 
build 5.3-STABLE. Make sure and use the tag RELENG_5 (as of right now) 
when fetching via CVSup or anoncvs. You may also want to check 
ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/

See: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html

As far as your errors are concerned, I am no expert at the internal 
workings of the ad driver.. so I'm not going to even try and venture to 
explain whats going on. However, I am sure that someone here who is more 
knowledgable may be able to offer an explanation and/or fix if you are 
able to provide more information (ie how often it occurs, your disk 
drive make, etc etc).

5.3-RELEASE isn't out yet, but you can get 5.3-STABLE by cvsup'ing
the RELENG_5 tag.

What kind of disks, what kind of disk controller, what kind of
motherboard?
