I experienced the same problem using 5.1 release with an Adaptec SATA Raid card that uses the SATA Sil3112A chip.
With 5.1-CURRENT I can get FreeBSD to install, but the server locks-up because the disk subsystem gets a DMA write error that it either never recovers from or falls into the debugger (most times it does NOT go to the debugger.)
There are a few of us using SATA Sil3112A chips and experiencing these problems.

I was wondering about the online Sil 3112 SATA RAID controller on my Gigabyte 7VAXP board. The 5.1 RELEASE boot CD crashes saying it couldn't write to root (which is weird, considering it usually should be able to write to memfs??).
