Not supported chipset?

Description
I bought a new mainboard (Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3), the cpu is an AMD Phenom II X2 560. Windows XP is running fine on this machine. I never thought, that I could have troubles with my eCS 1.2r. Til now all motherboards worked well for me with OS/2.
If I put in a hard disk with installed eCS the pc reboots directly after the boot manager. If I try to make a new installation the computer reboots again and again after phase 1 trying to boot from HDD.
I am no computer professional, but I think the cause is the not supported chipset (AMD 870).
Here's my question: is this right, and if it is, is there a chance that You soon will bring a new version of DANIS506.ADD which supports this often used chipset? Or what can I do else?
Thanks for your help!

Replying to stevenhl:
Grumble. No TRAC e-mails.
I didn't expect an answer anymore!
The listed ATA/SATA chipsets are all supported by Danis506 1.8.7. The timing of the reboot implies that danis506.add is not involved in the reboot.
I only looked for AMD870/SB850 in the chiplist. And no other analysis program (Win XP) reports it as ATI IXP700/800. Good, than there is another chance to get it running.
If you reboot and press Alt-F2 at the blob, what is the last driver loaded?
If I reboot, the Alt-F2 (or Alt-F1, Alt-F4) is not accepted. The computer reboots in the same moment automatically. Only when the eCS is preinstalled on a PATA-HDD the reboot is a little bit delayed, but Alt-F2 is also not accepted.
How did you gather the traces? Did you boot from the install CD?
I think I gathered the traces from the install CD, but this is three months ago - I'm not shure. So I made it again, booting from the install CD, and the traces are similar.

eCS support had the solution: more than 2 GB of RAM aren't supported by the _W4 kernel. The files OS2LDR, OS2KRNL and DOSCALL1.DLL have to be replaced through the one's of the SMP kernel 104a, even if it is no SMP machine.
