I also have one of these that doesn't work with FreeBSD. I just replaced the controller. What is worse is there are different versions of this chip some that will work with FreeBSD, but many don't.

Sil3112 is known to be crap, but it's also known to work for many FreeBSD 6.x users. > What SATA controller could you suggest ? > I must be on card (PCI?) so i could plug in to my current server.
