Sorry for the false alarm,
There is one thing that seems odd, if you do have an nForce4 chipset, the
kernel should be running the SATA controller in ADMA mode in 2.6.20, but it
doesn't seem like it is from your dmesg output. Can you post the output of
"lspci -vvn"? Also what kind of motherboard is that?

Sure thing. It's an Asus m2npv-vm.

Ah, that would be why, it's not one of the original nForce4 (CK804/MCP04) chipsets, it's the newer nForce 430 (MCP51) chipset which doesn't support ADMA. NVidia said they'd be sending some patches to allow NCQ support on MCP51 and MCP61 chipsets back in October, but I haven't seen any, or information required to implement same..
