The old SATA driver available from the IDE menu also does not support your chip, so I don't believe there are any workarounds -- you'll need the issue fixed.

What issue ?

From the report its quite simple - enable the correct CONFIG_ATA based
drivers and it should all work fine.

He has a SATA harddrive and an IDE DVD drive. When he compiles with CONFIG_ATA_PIIX (a driver which advertises both SATA and PATA in its description) his drive works, his DVD does not. Is that not the correct driver? Does he need something else? How does he get his DVD to work?
