I'm running into the same issue reported here:

<http://readlist.com/lists/vger.kernel.org/linux-kernel/72/361184.html>

I am using the ata_piix module. If I read the docs correctly, I should be able to use ahci as well; I need to rebuild the kernel though (debian insists on putting ata_piix into the initrd....)

dionysus:~# ls -l /sys/block/sd[abcde]/device/queue_depth

If I change the perms to rw, I get an Input/Output error. AFAICT, the drives support queueing, but it's disabled.

ata_piix does not support NCQ. You have to use AHCI mode for that.
