 Are you using a prober ATA66 compliant cable ?
 
 At any rate I have the same VIA chip (82c686)  on two boards here, and I have
 absolutely _no_ problems with them, however you say it should be a 82c586
 are you sure of that ? (check the mothernboard itself), as this could be
 a screwup in versioning of the VIA chips (they have a weird idea of how
 to differentiate the different chips)...
