Hi,

I've had similar problems with ICH8 mobo.
Seems like no matter what mode i set for the JMicron controller (ide/raid/ahci)
freebsd sees it as ahci and optical drive does not work.
However i made my SATA DVD drive work by putting it on a ICH sata port
and setting IDE mode.

I've also had exacly the same issue with Xorg and Nvidia driver when i
have JMicron enabled, and it seems that when i enable the "memory
remapping feature" in the BIOS it works again properly.

And btw, this is on Asus P5B Deluxe motherboard.

hth,
Niki
