Yes, but only in a configuration <=3GB. But I thought those problems were

Has anybody successfully installed FreeBSD on the dual-Opteron TYAN
ThunderK8W S2885 ( http://www.tyan.com/products/html/thunderk8w.html )
using the onboard SiI 3114 SATA controller? This mobo is supposedly
supported:

But I have never been able to successfully install
FreeBSD({5.3/5.4/6.0Beta3/4} amd64/i386) on it, using SATA.
In my last attempt at installing 6.0Beta4 AMD64 on it, I get:

Some months ago, I did successfully install FreeBSD 5.4/amd64 on it,
using PATA IDE drives, and no problems whatsoever, so I think this has
something to do w/ the SiI 3114 driver.
Any help is much appreciated.
I do apologize for cross-posting but this concerns -stable and -amd64.
It looks like the same issue that we have been complaining
about irt the ATA driver in 5.4/stable.. Several people have also found
it to be a problem under 6.0. In my case, it happens with a plain old
PATA drive (via 8235 controller). It runs fine under PIO4 mode, any
DMA modes result in the same errors you got.
I was working on updating and installing the ataMkIII patches since
that's the only version that is being supported :^< But they are
supposed to merge the beta code that is in 6.0 into 5.stable and
it sound like the same errors are occurring.
I'm seriously considering installing Gentoo and wash my hands of it.
