Compile a kernel 2.4.27 and put your sata_$CHIPSET into it.
Copy the kernel to the first Woody-Floppy (rescue.bin) and be happy.

The Woody installers complains now about the FALSE Kernel modules
but ignore it.  Woody works perfectly with 2.4.27 ans SATA drives.

I am using "sata_via" on my AsusTek A7V600-X
