 Yes, the hdd is a SATA as well. The hdd is on ata1 and the DVD is on
ata2, after days of searching I still cannot find any concrete
documentation on libata. I know that I could re-compile my kernel with
ide-generic and ide-cd support to get the dvd rom working, but I'd
rather do without ide support compiled into my kernel :)

So far everything works on my laptop (including the ICH6 modem and TI
mmc/sd/xd card reader) I can wait a few weeks until the SATA support in
the kernel matures a bit.
