Yes, I did it, but all I have ... wait a bit... Yes, I missed ahci.ko module on 
my PXE server in amd64/8 tree :-/

[kernel reinstall]

Well, ahci problem solved, but I still have much worse performance (and 
different on ada0 and ada1!):
ada0, MC	50-60 MBps 
ada1, MC	13-25 MBps
ada*, 5017	130+ MBps

Could you please post SATA/AHCI BIOS settings from your machines? Thanks a lot!
