VIA VT8237 woes

Hi,
I'm having serious trouble getting my onboard VIA VT8237
IDE-controller working with FreeBSD 4.10R as well as with -STABLE
(as far as I can tell, it's supported according to
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.10R/hardware-i386.html#AEN34).
The mobo is a EPOX EP-859A7i
(http://www.epox.nl/english/products/motherboard/8k9a7i.htm) with VIA
KT400A and VT8237. The controller appears to be incorrectly (?)
identified as "atapci0: <VIA Apollo ATA controller> port 0xac00-0xac0f
at device 15.0 on pci0" (full dmesg below).
The transfer mode is automatically set to WDMA2, which isn't exactly
optimal, but more importantly: it results in SILENT data corruption! A
chunk of data every gigabyte or so (sometimes more rarely, making it
difficult to test if it works or not) written to the disk is replaced
by seemingly random data. Setting the transfer mode to PIO4 makes the
problem go away.
In the archives there are some that report success with VT8237 and
4.10R, but it appears as if those don't refer to an onboard
controller. A possibly clarification is offered by Mikeal Hubsch,
regarding 5.2:
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=20040102204932.B93774-100000
%40snaps.home&output=gplain.
As a dirty quick-fix, I tried changing the chipid in the 4.10 sources:
The controller was then identified as "atapci0: <VIA 8237 ATA133
controller> port 0xac00-0xac0f at device 15.0 on pci0", and the
default transfer mode was set to UDMA100, although the silent data
corruption persisted.
In july Ion-Mihai Tetcu said that "VIA8237 + Seagates +
FreeBSD -CURRENT is a deadly combination"
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1918360+1921418+
/usr/local/www/db/text/2004/freebsd-current/20040711.freebsd-current).
Should I just accept this to be the case for 4.10 stable/release as
well?
I haven't been able to try it with another hard drive, but I verified
it with two identical computers (apart from amount of RAM). I have
also tried replacing the IDE-cable, same result.
For the record, I get roughly the same errors in OpenBSD 3.5 (running
on the second machine, with a Maxtor hard drive), the "solution" is to
not use DMA.
I'd appreciate any help to get this working with 4.x.
Thanks in advance!
Below is a dmesg with a STABLE-kernel, booted in verbose mode.
