I have a different SATA chipset, but it works fine with the 2.6 kernel.
The only trick I hit is for some reason the kernel module doesn't get
loaded by discover, but it does get loaded by hotplug. Unfortunately, on
startup hotplug runs after mount -a, which means SATA drives fail to
mount.
The solution was to add the SATA module to /etc/modules to force it to
load earlier.
