Hi,

Searching in the hardware suported by 5.3 i see no (obvious) reference 
to Intel ICH5 SATA disk controler.

But googling for "intel ich5 freebsd", there are lots os links about 
this issue.
Some talk about patches, even in this list, several months before 5.3

In the end, i do not know if this controler is or isn't suported 
natively by FreeBSD 5.3, and if not, how can one make it work.

Strangely enough, it seems that this controler is fully and natively 
suported in 4.10!!!

Any help would be apreciated.
I have a server to re-install from Linux to FreeBSD tomorrow :(

Warm Regards.
