Just FYI. I manage a 4 cores SMP server using Tyan B2881G28U4H [1] on
which there are AIC-7902 and AMD-81x1. A MaxTronic RAID enclosure is
connected to AIC-7902 and FreeBSD 6.0-RC1 is booted off from it.

By default, FreeBSD couldn't start. Dumping the ahd state when probing
the da and simply stopped. So I set the SCSI BIOS to restrict the device
speed upto 80MB/s and the problem went away. After that, the machine
runs flawlessly for 8 months.
