Just upgraded to 2.6.21.1 and I am now capable of using ahci instead of ata_piix.

This makes the disks even faster:

OLD-IDE
-------
[root@kayak /root]# hdparm -T -t /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 Timing cached reads:   4816 MB in  2.00 seconds = 2408.44 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:   12 MB in  3.23 seconds =   3.72 MB/sec



Libata ata_piix
---------------
[root@kayak /root]# hdparm -T -t /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   4960 MB in  2.00 seconds = 2480.38 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  168 MB in  3.00 seconds =  55.94 MB/sec



Liata AHCI
----------
[root@kayak /root]# hdparm -T -t /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   5036 MB in  2.00 seconds = 2518.96 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  178 MB in  3.03 seconds =  58.73 MB/sec

Wew... This makes it a worthy upgrade!

Thnx.
