FreeBSD 5.3-R has bounce buffer problems on both amd64 and i386 with
 >4GB of RAM.  This will definitely cause strange data corruption on ATA.
I fixed 5-STABLE and 6-CURRENT last week, so you should update.

ACPI works ok on my EM64T system (a pre-release Intel 7520BD2 board).
Not sure what to say except to see if there are BIOS updates for your
board.
