I'm not sure if support for AHCI controller made its way into the libata 
yet.

Things to try:

Do you have RAID options enabled in BIOS.  If yes, disable them and 
retry installation.  AHCI doesn't really have RAID anyhow, it's just a fake.

If AHCI is not yet supported by libata, try setting it to emulate old 
(parallel) IDE controller in BIOS.  This always works.
