That's strange. I guess we're forgetting something when forcing the controller into AHCI mode. What happens if you manually issue re-scan by doing "echo - - - > /sys/class/scsi_host/hostN/scan" where hostN is the SCSI host for the ATA port you moved the drive? Also, after driver is loaded, can you please post the results of "lspci -nnvvvxxx" with BIOS mode set to IDE and AHCI?
