Loading ide-cd in there is generally a good idea, otherwise anything
that tries to access the cd thorugh scsi first might make it load
ide-scsi. ide-generic may also be needed.

Does lsmod show any sata or ata drivers that might be sata?

Hmm, I haven't used that one, so I am not sure how it behaves.

Yes that should be sata. That is what I use on my nforce2 board.

Looks reasonable. On the nforce2 my /etc/mkinitrd/modules contains
just:
ide-cd
That's it. The rest the mkinitrd scans for correctly.

Try adding ide-cd and ide-generic to /etc/modules to make sure they load
early in boot. Maybe that will fix it (that is I believe how the debian
installer tends to set it up by default).
