just in case anybody's searching the archives:
I got the following advice from Jeff Garzik and it worked (didn't do much testing yet, but at least the whole disk is usable):
2.4.21-ac4 (vanilla plus ac4 patches)
create another vanilla tree with libata5 patches, then copy the following files to ac4 tree: drivers/scsi/{ata_piix,libata}.c and include/linux/ata.h
build with scsi ata support (make sure you have bios set so that sata drives are seen as sata drives, not legacy ide drives, I only got machines lockups in legacy mode). The disks should be visible as scis disk (/dev/sd[a-z]).
libata5 patch:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/patchkits/2.4/2.4.21-libata5.patch.bz2
