Now since libata, PATA = SATA = Trouble is USB is SCSI over a different cable, ATAPI is SCSI over an ATA cable, SATA is PATA over a different wire and often you can't tell one from the other (or people use PATA/SATA bridges)... If your rootfs is labelled rather than /dev/hd* it should all just work, and it should certainly load the ata_piix module into the initrd. Can you send me an lspci -vvxxx of the system.
