I am using a 5015A (I think 5015A-EHF) without any issues. I don't
use the ICH9R or any other ICHxx RAID capabilities, so that chipset
does not matter to me. I think the whole architecture of using
allowing the chipset to use the kernel for RAID
capabilities/offloading is garbage. The design has too many points of
failure (kernel driver, chipset implementation and firmware, userland
software for raid management, etc.). It's an unreliable
implementation that allows people who do not understand what they are
doing to say "I have a RAID array" and gives them a pretty GUI to
manage the array. Software based raid in OpenBSD is fine, but lacks
some capabilities for setting up a raid array for the root partition,
though I admit I lack in depth knowledge in this area, so I could be
wrong with this statement. I'm sure others will chime in if I'm
mistaken.
Note these bits:

pciide0: using apic 3 int 19 for native-PCI interrupt
That's the important part. OpenBSD seems to work well with this
chipset. The network hardware/driver for this machine results in high
interrupt rates under heavy load. This is my only complaint with the
box. For my needs it works just fine though. I can move traffic
through the box at a rate that is acceptable for my needs.
