This one shouldn't be needed, the default is atapi enabled since 2.6.18
or so.

Ah I was trying to work out why it didn't "just work" - your default
initrd didn't have the AHCI driver. I thought 2.6.22 should be working!

AHCI improves performance under load - the cost to issue a command is
lower than with traditional IDE interfaces for one, and if your drive has
NCQ support we can give the drive multiple commands at a time, and the
drive is able to fulfill them out of order according to things like head
position. As the drive has a list of work to do it can do it more
efficiently based on its detailed knowledge of the media.
