The problem began with 4.7 - 4.8 stable and release.

I also changed the cables & found the answer on groups.google.com, too ;-) If you've bought a built pc-system it often happens that the cables are of poor quality what would result in a falling back to PIO mode. This seems to be the effect of the low data integrity that is reached in conjunction with those cables. Hernani
