This is probably what you want. AHCI is supposed to be chipset agnostic.

See if there's anything in the docs about what this actually does. You
might need it to use the PATA port, but it could be what's messing
things up. If you can't use the cdrom, maybe install from a thumb
drive or usb crdrom. (My ASUS M2N-LR board refuses to boot from a
thumb drive. Likewise with a friend's Supermicro Intel board. Both
work fine from a usb cdrom.)

I think so. It makes the first 4 ports look like IDE drives (two
channels, two drives per channel) and the remaining BIOS RAID or AHCI.
