There's VIA's motherboard (not sure about the model name).

Here's info regarding ata controller from dmesg:
atapci0: <VIA 8235 UDMA133 controller> port 0xac00-0xac0f at device 17.1 on 
pci0

I will be able to test the drives (the ones which I thought of as "failed") on 
another board within 10 days or so.
