Looks like you have some kind of Asus Mobo... Is that correct ?
It seems that you have the ata2 port that is connected not to a disk,
but to another disk controller.

Robert Ancock wrote me :
"There is something connected, I believe what's actually there on this 
board on that port is the SiI4723 chip which is connected to two other 
SATA ports. For whatever reason it gets detected as a drive, and it also 
seems to be not responding until we do a few resets..

regarding my P5W DH Deluxe motherboard.
To date, I still don't have any solution for that problem... but it seems
you have some advance as you wrote : "If I turn off AHCI
then it seems to be okay."

I need to test this on my machine too...

Regards,
Paul
