I agree on the motherboard and peripheral chipset issue. This, and the last generation AMD quad/six core motherboards all seem to use the AMD SP56x0/SP5100 chipset, which I can't find much information about support on for either OpenSolaris or FreeBSD.
Another issue is the LSI SAS2008 chipset for SAS controller which is frequently offered as an onboard option for many motherboards as well and still seems to be somewhat of a work in progress in regards to being 'production ready'.
