OK. I have attached my ICH7 board and found where is the problem. This
chipset doesn't provide access to SATA control registers. As result,
driver can't get SATA connection info and so doesn't report it. If you
wish, you can restore previous behavior by applying attached patch. Here
is what I have with it:
%atacontrol mode ad0
current mode = UDMA100
%atacontrol mode ad4
current mode = UDMA100 SATA 1.5Gb/s
%atacontrol mode ad5
current mode = UDMA100 SATA 1.5Gb/s
%atacontrol mode ad6
current mode = UDMA100 SATA 1.5Gb/s
%atacontrol mode ad7
current mode = UDMA100 SATA 1.5Gb/s
But as I have said before, it is only a cosmetics.
