Which SATA driver in 2.6.12-rc3? If you configured AHCI in the BIOS, then ahci should work. Otherwise ata_piix is the choice. In fact, for ICH6 ata_piix is smart enough to disable AHCI on its own, if it gets loaded. So, ata_piix is the safe choice (ignoring any issues favoring AHCI). For those observing, the reason this is an issue is because Intel used the same PCI ID for ICH6 in either IDE or AHCI mode. So, there is no obvious choice for kudzu and the like to make.
