I finally found I only need to choose the "RAID" option for SATA mode (the other one is "IDE"). I didn't know by choosing it, Centos is able to load the ahci driver. That solves the problem. It took ton of time for me to figuring out the solution is such easy. I should've tried this earlier.
Thank you all for helping on this. Centos seems to have a great community.

Anything is possible, but I actually did read the article, so that doesn't
apply here. It was to get an AHCI driver for XP on a certain asus MB for speed
reasons.
I try to not talk out of my behind unless I happen to get into the bourbon
first, but that is also not the case here.
And needing to download a windows driver for some kind of emulation like
ndiswrapper doesn't mean you need to install it in windows, or even have a
copy of windows.
