This is where it gets wierd... I may have uncovered a BIOS bug.
I changed the mainboard out as a last-ditch attempt to get this working
and BEHOLD! The drives work perfectly. I swapped the A7N8X-D out for an
Abit NF7-M (same nForce2 chipset, with the exception of onboard
graphics) and used the same hardware as before.
This NF7-M is on loan to me so I cannot use it indefinitely. Any ideas,
Tejun?
Worst comes to worst I can buy an old nForce2 board for a minor sum off
eBay.
I guess it could be a PCI bus problem. Maybe the controller and the PCI
bus on the board don't like each other and thing get corrupt when
transactions occur at high speed. I've seen data corruption over PCI
bus on some pilot embedded system board. Not sure whether such things
are applicable to consumer products.
I dunno. Simply changing the motherboard or the controller might be the
best solution for you. Considering the large deployment of
3112/3152/3114 controllers, it's hard to believe your problem is
software bug.
Thanks.
