Under kernel/modules I find only config (use it to compile your own 
modules) not the modules.

SATA README lists several sata kernels

sata.i  1.28MB
bareacpi.i 1.37MB (auto poweroff?)

I will eventually download source code (at the library) for 2.6.33.3 and 
use SW11 gcc to compile the modules and maybe a smaller kernel (or use the 
SW11 sata.i config to compile 2.6.21.7 kernel and modules - I think this 
is the last kernel to not call IDE drives sda).
