Your re(4) will also have some issues... you can find the correct
patch at:

http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/re.HEAD.patch

(btw I have exactly the same mobo with 4gb and e6850)

also in some cases (I don't know if Xin Li's just posted patch covers
this) SATA and PATA will not live in peace together.   You will also
want some of the ata-id patchs posted earlier under "[ANNOUNCEMENT]
Wiki for P35/IHC9(r) created" (or something close to that)... in
addition if you have sata/300 drives they will be misreported as 150's
(there are different claims on if this is anything beyond cosmetic)...
I have attached the patches I use to fix this.  The ahci.diff one has
been unoffically superseeded (better code style is the only diff I
think) but I can find the new one which was sent to me privately.
