The 8233a southbridge was not supported in Red Hat 7.3. This is probably
the casue of any data corruption.
Looking at the source code for the 2.4.18-14 kernel in Psyche...
/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/drivers/ide/via82cxxx.c
*
* Version 3.35
*
* VIA IDE driver for Linux. Supported southbridges:
*
* vt82c576, vt82c586, vt82c586a, vt82c586b, vt82c596a, vt82c596b,
* vt82c686, vt82c686a, vt82c686b, vt8231, vt8233, vt8233c, vt8233a,
* vt8235
*
The 8233a does now appear to be supported.
