SiS SATA controllers that work with FreeBSD

Hello,
	Just upgraded my server system from a 1.2 GHz Celeron to a 3.0 GHz and 
I'm running into an issue with the SATA RAID controller. Every time I 
have the controller enabled with the drive connected, the system locks 
up, possibly due to IRQ conflict, etc, but I'm not 100% sure. Also, I'm 
not sure what the exact model is for the controller, but it  possibly 
could be SiS 964 based on the schematics given in page 13 of the 
manual-available here: 
<http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/sock478/p4s800d-x/e1753_p4s800d-x.pdf>.
	So, I was wondering..
1. If anyone has this motherboard on the list and have been successful 
with getting the SATA RAID controller to work.

..or...

2. If anyone has a motherboard with a similar chipset that they got the 
SATA controller to work with.

I tried googling a bit, but all I came up with is an possible lead that 
turned into a dead end (empty PR), and the supported hardware list isn't 
turning up anything helpful :(..

Here's my pciconf output (please note SATA controller is turned off in 
BIOS, but SiS964 is listed as a probed device--the LPC):
