I do not get a .config in a freshly unpacked 2.6.20 from the kernel.org.

Now once I do a make menuconfig and exit saving the defaults it picks up from 
the running kernel it is there.

Have you done a make menuconfig to get the .config or was it in the debian 
package? If so then you should check in the SATA section to enable the driver 
you need from the looks of it the sata_intel one as that is the only one set 
in your 2.6.18 config. One other thing I am thinking of is the option to use 
experimental/incomplete drivers I believe it is called if it is not set then 
you never get to see certain module selections you might have to set this to 
see the sata drivers.
