I've already tried with pciide settings and wd* too but nothing
happens.
I've tried even with "bogus" settings like pio mode 2 eccetera but
nothing change.

I'm thinking about support of this "particular" chipset, it's widely
used in socket A boards but seems not to be supported from BSD and
linuxes...it's strange.
I've seen a patch from NetBSD on newsgroup but nothing more and it was
no so official.
