State-Changed-Why: 
Your problem is likely caused by one of two things:
1) A bug in the driver that was corrected in rev 1.6 of i386/eisa/ahb.c.
2) The fact that the new CAM 174X driver takes advantage of tagged
   queuing and the additional load this causes on the card or bus
   is exposing a firmware or cabling problem.

To test out theory 1, pick up rev 1.6 of ahb.c from a local FreeBSD
mirror, recompile your kernel with the new version of the driver,
and see if the hangs persist.

To test out theory 2, disable tagged queuing for this driver by changing
line 1217 of sys/i386/eisa/ahb.c from

		cpi->hba_inquiry = PI_SDTR_ABLE|PI_TAG_ABLE;

to:

		cpi->hba_inquiry = PI_SDTR_ABLE;

Please let me know if either of these suggestions address your problem.
Of course, #1 is the solution I hope addresses your hang.
