I looked intot his awhile ago, since I was peripherally involved in a
machine with a SATA controller (same one you are using, in fact).
From what I can tell, the 2.4.20-ac (that's the Alan Cox version)
of the kernel has support for the controller, but I'm unaware of any
debian kernel binary that has this compiled in. Grab the latest
2.4.20 kernel from kernel.org, grab the Alan Cox patch, and apt-get
patch and kernel-package, and have fun. Shouldn't be hard if you've
compiled a kernel before.
