There are not, but I've seen various boxes behave the way you describe

it indicates a hardware bug and as far as ICH errata are concerned I
know of none relevant. You can check however as Intel put most chipset
errata docs on their website.


Thank you for your help.
Now I temporarily put the box back to the fields with IDE-DMA disabled.

Thought I rememeber IDE busmastering prefers very long bursts in contrast to
my very short but high-rate bursts. This can lead it into trouble...
Anyway, I'm going after and report back if I found something.

Best regards,
