I have a MSI k7n2 delta2 lsr motherboard (msicomputer.com). Odd as it sounds, it has a nvidia sata controller. From a post on current in december, I learned it uses the pata controller and another chip in front of it. The sata controller is not detected by 5-STABLE and i'd like to see it included. I noticed the how to write a problem report documentation recommended bouncing things off a mailing list first. Here i am.
I've played around with the sources of the ata driver and managed to get the card to report properly with hints from that thread in december on current. I also figured out that having the controller initialize with the sata init routine instead of the via init seemed to make it work and negotiate SA150.
i'm still having a few stability problems with the system. I don't know if its the driver or my NIC. It tends to only happen when i'm using the network (cvsup, etc) so i'm not sure.
You should try out -current as it has support for the nVidia chips already...
