I have only had one SATA Controller[1] that didn't work with the install 
cd drivers, and required a vendor supplied driver.  Apart from that SATA 
is pretty mature.  The libata site has a list of hardware and there 
level of support.  I am currently running with an on board nVidia CK804 
Serial ATA Controller[1] which was recognized by the gentoo install cd.
