Hi everyone in the list.

I'm having problems with a 3ware 9500s - 8 ports (with 4 x WDC WD1600JD-22HBB0 SATA 150 in RAID 5). 
Every 10 days or so my server shuts down uncleanly. It used to happen almost every day until I added hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" to my loader.conf.

Syslog reports:

Does anyone have any clue about what's going on? I have another server, same configuration but with a 3ware 7500 - 4 ports (ATA) , and it works great.

Motherboard is Tyan S5120AGNF (tomcat i915g).
Processor is a PIV 530J 3Ghz (disabled ht from bios).
twa support is enabled in kernel (5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #2).

Thanks in advance.
