I have this one set, but the kernel apparently fails to find the ATI SATA
controller:

00:12.0 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc ATI 4379 Serial ATA Controller (rev 80) (prog-if 8f [Master SecP SecO PriP PriO])
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16

I/O ports at 9008 [size=4]
I/O ports at 9010 [size=8]
I/O ports at 7018 [size=4]
I/O ports at 7020 [size=16]
Memory at d4409000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512]
[virtual] Expansion ROM at 52000000 [disabled] [size=512K]
Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [50] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit- Queue=0/0 Enable

(with 2.6.19-rc2-mm2 and before it was handled by the sata_sil driver).

Greetings,
Rafael
