Well, sata_via never touches the VIA PATA side of things. Probably a config or BIOS error, or similar.
So I though but since since the device is visible on the PCI bus at all times that strikes me a bit odd.
Where's the IDE driver output?
...
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
vesafb: probe of vesafb0 failed with error -6
NET: Registered protocol family 1
SCSI subsystem initialized
libata version 1.10 loaded.
sata_via version 1.0
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:0f.0[B] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 169
sata_via(0000:00:0f.0): routed to hard irq line 11
...
That's all.
One thing is pretty strange though which would support your guess with the BIOS problem: I modified the Debian initrd system to forcefully load the via82cxxx module before the libata and sata_via driver but it still does not work, so at least it doesn't seem to be the order in which the drivers are loaded.
One other thing I find somewhat irritating is that the driver and the PCI setup disagree about the IRQ assignment:
