Your motherboard has VIA P4M266A chipset, carrying VT8233A on board. Ata(4) driver is not completely new in 6.0, and it has supported this very IDE controller for some time already. Please consult your motherboard's manual (I can't download it as all Asus sites behave very badly) and disable all non-standard options, you can try some thing like "Load safe defaults" or "Load optimized defaults". BTW, this question belongs to questions@, so cc there.
