Ok, so it could be the promise controller (the controller, however, worked
for a long time in another board with no via chipset and pci delayed
transactions enabled, so I guess it is not only dependnet on the promise
controller).
and this means that there is no automatic workaround, since not all
systems seem to have this problem.
