atapicam trouble

I still have the same problem as below, even when running 6.2-BETA2 from
a FreeSBIE - cd. I wonder if this could have to do with badly supportet
motherboard, ASUS P5B, since I dont see any temp-readings with sysctl.
cpuTemp and MBTemp are displayed under bios-config.

Another "funny" thing, if I read disk-data with smartmontools,
smartctl -a /dev/ad10
[irq19: re0 uhci3++] starts using a hole cpu for itself, and only
a reboot helps.
