FreeBSD 7.2 and Silicon Image Sil 3112 SATA Controller

Recently I have happened to set up some services on my brother’s fileserver.
FreeBSD should been worked via PCI SATA Controller(Sil3112)on SATA 1Tb HDD.
FreeBSD 7.2 was installing by a miracle. But it didn’t work properly.
Server was being hang up and restart when hard disk was being use actively (for example: updating ports tree,make installing port’s and especially uploading a big data level via samba).
As it found out this controller don’t work correctly with FreeBSD, although it present in The currently supported ATA/SATA controller chips
