I can't offer any insights as for the SCSI adapters, but re: NIC - I've had similar symptoms quite a few times with Intel motherboards, and usually the cause was that the NIC was disabled in BIOS. FreeBSD could still see it, but something was missing on the low level and any access to the card would lock up the machine solid...
