Silicon Image 3x12 or 3x14 based PCI Sata Controller cards (with Base Bios applied) work nicely.
If you don't want to install such an add-on card, then you'll have to stick with P-ATA drives like the 202 series.

You can't expect the manufacturer of a peripheral device to fix buggy 3rd party components.
Those VIA southbridges do not comply with the standards, there are not only issues with Sata ODD (regardless of manufacturer), even some Sata HDD won't work properly with that chipset.
