This looks like the device.  The 2.6.4 kernel does support it, but the
kernel help doesn't say what the name of the module is.  The SATA
support is a sub-menu of SCSI devices.  You may need to do a custom
compile to make it functional.  Since you have IDE controllers for four
devices, look for the SATA drive(s) to be hde or hdf.
