Yeah, this is why the lspci output is important so that the bug may be
assigned to discover-data...
So, what we need you to do is report a bug against the discover-data
package with "lspci -n" and "lspci -v" output, mentioning the lack of
automatic load of the needed module for your SATA controller, and the
name of the needed module (in that case "ata_piix")
