Both Western Digital and Maxtor have programs that will setup their HD's up to only work at lower rates. Once you get 4.2 installed, you can add a sysctl for hw.atamodes and set them to pio mode in /etc/sysctl.con. The Promise Ultra 66 controller pci card also works on my system with a similar problem.
