Try booting with acpi=off

The Asus nforce 4 boards (at least the one I have, A8N-VM) have a broken
ACPI implementation, and when booted with acpi enabled (the default), causes
problems with other hardware in the system. Though I'm not sure it would
affect the problem you're having with sata. Worth a try though I guess...
