What's the FreeBSD version you are using? I had a similar problem with
2.2.6-RELEASE. The motherboard was (and is) an Iwill PIILS, and the
cause was that the serial EEPROM on the mb is a C56 o C66, but the
AHC driver supposed it has to be a C46 (which is the SEEPROM used
in the Adaptec 2940 cards). The problem was fixed in later versions
of /usr/src/sys/pci/aic7870.c (currently is 1.41.2.10 for -STABLE).

Hope this helps,
