Yes. Only the 182x (and maybe 181x) SATA RAID cards are supported natively with FreeBSD... not including ata supported highpoint cards like the RockerRAID 100 that show up as device ar. You could try the mkIII patches (now part of FreeBSD 6) and see if that works... I had to do that to get one of my RAID cards to work... here's an install script I made to apply the patches, cvsup your src first: test -d /tmp/mk3n-releng5 && cd /tmp/mk3n-releng5 || mkdir /tmp/mk3n-releng5 && cd /tmp/mk3n-releng5 test -e ata-mk3n-releng5.tar.gz || fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~sos/ATA/ata-mk3n-releng5.tar.gz test -e ata-mk3n.diff-releng5.gz || fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~sos/ATA/ata-mk3n.diff-releng5.gz rm -r /usr/src/sys/dev/ata cd /usr/src tar -zxf /tmp/mk3n-releng5/ata-mk3n-releng5.tar.gz gunzip -c /tmp/mk3n-releng5/ata-mk3n.diff-releng5.gz | patch -s && echo "do= ne" and then do a buildworld / kernel. Gmail btw wraped the first 3 lines of that script. If that does not work you will need to talk to highpoint for a driver update, ask them if they can do an openbuild like they did for the 182x so that the FreeBSD team can build a native driver etc., send them a backtrace of the kernel panic too.
