Support for many SATA controllers is still somewhat bleeding edge because the drivers tend to be still in development and the chip vendors still often release new chips with different quirks. Not everything was supported well in 2.6.8. If you want you can try a newer KOTD kernel from ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/x86_64/ which is based on newer mainline with newer drivers (but no guarantee that it works at all, e.g. similar as in gentoo)
Maybe I'm missing something, but wasn't SATA supposed to be the kind that didn't need any "new" drivers, because it was general ATA based? So, that all general ATA drivers should actually work for SATA?
