Of course I am not an expert here, but I want to rule out some trivial 
userspace things first.

Some time ago Greg KH said that even when the modprobe command returns, there 
is no guarantee that the module finished hardware detection. By rebuilding 
ata_piix as a non-module, you changed the timeline.

Could you please, for debugging, recompile ata_piix as a module again, but add 
a "sleep 5" before the mkrootdev command? If that works, a bug (race) is 
officially in userspace.

Sorry if all of the above is in fact just meaningless noise.

Something in the last 24hrs in linus bk broke my ability to mount root:

Creating root device
Mounting root filesystem
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
Switching to new root
Switchroot: mount failed 22
umount /initrd/dev failed: 2

If I back off a day everything works again. 

Root is on Intel ICH5 SATA drive.
