My chip set is via, but I see a couple things that would/should be in common. Make sure CONFIG_SCSI and CONFIG_SCSI_SATA are enabled. I don't see a CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_ATI in my version. A later kernel version may have something for this. Also, there is a chip set for the mainboard that may include the SATA controller. Find the chip set for your motherboard and see if that is the case. Then maybe the config setting for that chip set will enable it? Unsure of this. I *think* even if the control is embedded, a separate CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_* parameter would be used. Also, when running from the live cd, do an lsmod and /or modinfo for any loadable modules that look promising. If the live cd can access the disk, then your kernel should be able to if you can find a config param that sort of matches what module the live cd used. As another thought, most bios will allow a SATA as IDE configuration. The config file has a parameter that supports this. It may get you started if you use this combination. That can give you some time to locate the proper settings and/or a later kernel version that supports the chip(set). You mentioned that you had tried the config from your host. Did you do a make old config? That will, in effect, import the settings and prompt you only for new ones. I presume that old settings that don't exist in the new one would be (silently?) ignored, but I don't know this for sure. Regardless, a diff of the old and new, or a visual examination of the old one, may get you where you need to be.
