Mike Cui reported that his system with an NVIDIA MCP79 (aka MCP7A) chipset stopped working with 2.6.32. The problem appears to be that 2.6.32 now enables the FPDMA auto-activate optimization in the ahci driver. The drive works fine with this enabled on an Intel AHCI so this appears to be a chipset bug. Since MCP79 is a fairly recent NVIDIA chipset and we don't have any info on whether any other NVIDIA chipsets have this issue, disable FPDMA AA optimization on all NVIDIA AHCI controllers for now.
