    I've tried replacing pretty much everything, including power supplies, drives
    and motherboards. And even versions of FreeBSD. If it has a 8235, it doesn't
    work, period.

    After talking off-line with Doug White, though, i am under impression that it
    has something to do with the size of the drive as well. He says his kt400/8235
    works fine with an 80G drive. All my test drives have been 160G, and i don't
    have a smaller drive that could do UDMA100. All of them failed on my kt400/8235.

    I solved it for myself by getting a KT600/8237 motherboard (DFI), and i still
    think something is very fishy about 8235. Unfortunately, though, i don't have
    resources to verify that or troubleshoot it further. I spent a week on this
    already.

    Thank you for your advice, and the same goes to Doug White. Appreciate your help
    very much.
