have not watched this thread, so someone might have said this, but here it goes: check the early stages of your boot log, around the discovery of the ide system on the mobo. do you see any notes about not 100% compatibility? If yes, it's the chipset on your mobo. it will work, without dma and who knows what else. i had that problem, used the board for almost a year, eventually changed it. i should have done it earlier.

Ok, so this does not mean it is going to die soon. That's all I want to hear. Do you know if I only have to worry if smart tells me to, or if it can happen that smart tells me everything is ok when it is not?
Unfortunately, smart can not catch everything. There are "sudden deaths" that can not be forecasted.
Backup always! :-)
