Basically there are two way to configure a kernel to support a SATA  
disk:

The "old" way is to use the option found in:
Device drivers -> ATA/ATAPI/.. support ->
  Support for SATA (deprecated; conflicts with libata SATA drives

The new way is to configure it from the SCSI:
SCSI devices support -> SCSI low-level drivers ->
  [*] Serial ATA (SATA) support

and then your chipset specific option

Both are mutually exclusive and the second one which use the libata is  
the prefered one)
