    Hmm, it could be that there are problems with the 8235 and 48bit mode
    needed for >137G drives.
    However, I dont have a 8235 in my ATA HW collection so I have no way of
    reproducing/testing/fixing this problem if thats the case.
    On top of that VIA is not very cooperative so getting docs that could
    help here is not very likely..
