These modules are not provided because they have been obsoleted by
Libata. I very much doubt the Squeeze kernel uses them on your system.
The error messages come from modprobe, probably because the missing
modules are listed in /etc/modules.

Of course not. You could try a newer kernel, say 3.8 from unstable,
and/or file a bug report.
