SATA drives in the 2.6 kernel are handled by the new "libata" SCSI driver. If you add the "ATA passthru" patch (from Jeff Garzik) to your kernel, then hdparm can work with those drives.

Some flags, like "-d", are not supported by libata. Currently, ALL SATA hard drives use DMA, so there is no need for -d. But eventually libata will have to implement ATA PIO (for CF cards..), and at that time it may (or not) begin to support the "-d" flag.
