Maybe giving up on it is the right thing to do. I've an Intel D845GEBV2 (P4 & 845GE chipset) which won't detect more than 2 drives, detects a CDRW but not on primary slave, detects a 40 pin cable as 80 pin, doesn't see a KB if connected via a KVM, and has generally wasted a lot of time. I've just checked the spares box and found an Asus CUSL2-M, but it has an i815 chipset like yours and doesn't see drives (incl 3Gb), boots from CD but not HD, etc. Sorry.
