With very new hardware it's often only a missing PCI ID in the kernel
sources. Try lspci and lspci -n to get the device ID of the sata
chipset. Then have a look at .../linux-source-2.6.16/drivers/scsi/ata_piix.c
and look at lines like this:

{ 0x8086, 0x2651, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, ich6_sata },

Maybe there's no line that contains your PCI ID. I had this problem
once with a Promise SATA controiller. Ther driver with an older kernel
worked fine after adding the new PCI ID of my controller.

But maybe it's much simpler. There's a ahci module which may be the
one for ICH7 chipsets.
