not really an answer to your question, but.. i'm using 6.0-BETA3 here
with basically the same controller and a SATA maxtor disc (and 1
IDE-disc + 2 dvd-drives) without problems :

pciconf -lv|grep SATA
    device   = 'VT8237  VT6410 SATA RAID Controller'

$ dmesg |grep ad6
ad6: 190782MB <Maxtor 6B200M0 BANC1980> at ata3-master SATA150

are there possible BIOS-options for the SATA on your machine ?
