 My resolution was to use an ASUS CUSL2 (i815E) mobo -- but one of the drives
 seems to be having problems in ATA66 mode: ata0 device disappeared and some
 such (so I took the drive out of service in desperation, I finally started
 running more tests this weekend as a matter of fact).
 
 This is the first and last time I try to build a server out of current
 generation PC hardware. I almost went with a PC100/UDMA33/440BX system
 and if I had done that, I would have two fully working servers now and
 not flushed five weeks of spare time down the toilet.
