Yep, I had that _exact_ mainboard. 82c686[A] was the PITA of ATA-4 UltraDMA mode 4 capable designs. Even the early VT823x's were an improvement.
DMA timeouts were regular with different kernels, especially IBM (also WD at the time) drives.
Samsung 10 & 20GB drives also have showed the same symptoms also for me on a ABIT KR7A-RAID.
