I had the same problem in #275428. Same basic chipset (ICH6).
ata_piix is not in the "linux" d-i kernel (upstream did not merge it into
2.4.x until 2.4.28-pre1, before that it had to be patched in).
So it may be that these bugs should be given to kernel-image?
However the 2.6 kernel did work for me (linux26), but not for Gavin.
So, Gavin, your lspci output would be quite useful to sort this out.
