The GA-G33-DS3R has 8 internal SATA ports of which 6 are provided by the Intel Southbridge ICH9 chipset and the other 2 are provided by the 'Gigabyte SATAII' chipset, which in reality is a JMicron JMB363, a supposedly very well supported chip, and FreeBSD detects it as such. I have a standard SATA DVD combo drive, but regardless of what mode (IDE, RAID, AHCI) I put the "Gigabyte SATAII chipset" in, FreeBSD won't detect it as /dev/acd0. Strange, because I can boot up the snapshot CD and get as far as selecting media from which to install FreeBSD -- except to be told that no CD drive is found. Working from the 200708-amd64 snapshot, the ICH9 only works in SATA300 mode when the chipset is placed in RAID mode, and is then detected by FreeBSD as ICH8 - and that seems to work. FreeBSD isn't picking up the drives when the chipset is in AHCI mode despite this message back in July: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2007-July/004562.html Will try updating to the latest sources from the 200708 snapshot to see if that changes anything.
