* Me still confused.  You said something about PMP, right?  In the long,
there's no PMP related and ata_piix doesn't support PMP at all to begin
with, so how is your harddrive actually connected?

* ata1 is being detected alright.

* The error you're seeing on ata2 is fixed early this year.  Let me see.
 Hmmm.. It's commit d1adc1bbd6dde3e05a91e2d3e6ab42d202ea61d5.  I'm
attaching formatted patch for you.  That patch might not apply directly
but you should be able to get the idea.
