Oops, my bad, I was pretty sure the VIA chip was the Southbridge but I questioned my own logic when I saw it listed as a super i/o chip in the manual:
Chipset: VT82C686B PCI Super-I/O Integrated Peripheral Controller (PSIPC)
Heh. This chip is special. It is a south bridge AND a SuperI/O in one package.
Datasheet: http://linux.kernel.free.fr/VT82C686B.pdf
I sent a superiotool patch for this to the list a few seconds ago. Note that that patch in its current form may mess with floppy configuration instead of detecting the SuperI/O. This is due to missing PCI support in superiotool. Still, it would be very valuable if you could try this patch.
And to make it work, please run superiotool again after executing setpci -d 1106:0686 85.b=02:02
You can get back the original state of the chipset with setpci -d 1106:0686 85.b=00:02
