Just a little 'me too'.

I used to have a system with an Athlon XP 3200+, an ASUS A7V880 
mainboard (iirc) and a Promise SATA150TX4 and a Promise 
SATA300something, both PCI (no PCI-e) cards with 4 SATA ports. I didn't 
encounter system resets, but hard lockups with FreeBSD 7 and 8. No 
kernel messages on the console, everything just hang until I pressed the 
hard reset button.

After about 3 months of testing and frustration I gave up and bought 
another controller.
