Any modes in the bios for the SATA ports? Maybe it is in a mode not supported by linux. I know the ICH5 only wanted to work for me in native (enhanced?) mode, not compatible (emulating PATA) mode. Maybe via does something similar. I am puzzles by the UDMA/133 message which makes no sense for SATA which should be 150 or 300 not 133.
