We use the same BIOS (TP-1Y), but you are using a very old version.  A lot
might have changed since then, including AHCI support going away.  I don't
think I ever run a 1.23 bios on my machine...

And I know for a fact that the ACPI DSDT tables *did* change since 1.23, as
I have been looking at the DSDT changes in later versions of the BIOS as I
upgrade them.

Anyway, do you have anything in the BIOS that allows you to select AHCI
mode, or did Linux just load AHCI and skipped merrily along?  Here, AHCI
won't load with an error (supposedly because the ICH is already set to
non-AHCI mode).
