Maxtor drives are _extremely_ picky about cabling and clocks.

I'm not.
lspci (stripped VGA, Multimedia and Net stuff) 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

(Heck, I need to upgrade my pci stuff, it does not contain the chips I sent to Martin quite some time ago)

Try shorter cables or some SLOW PIO mode until you have better (shorter cables). Nothing about the chip set.
