Interesting trick ... connect it via SATA vs. USB. I suppose you have a chassis which allows for both.
In a morning-shower epiphany, I was going to suggest connecting your linux drive ONLY when you want to boot into it, and to tell the BIOS to boot off USB before booting off the IDE interface. You got this to work fine, but I add that tip for future comers.

NAME
ahci - Advanced Host Controller Interface SATA controller driver
SYNOPSIS
sata@unit-address
DESCRIPTION
The ahci driver is a SATA framework-compliant HBA driver that supports SATA HBA controllers that are compatible with the Advanced Host Con-
troller Interface 1.0 specification. AHCI is an Intel-developed protocol that describes the register-level interface for host controllers
for serial ATA 1.0a and Serial ATA II. The AHCI 1.0 specification describes the interface between the system software and the host con-
troller hardware.
The ahci driver currently supports the Intel ICH6/7/8/9, VIA vt8251 and JMicron AHCI controllers which are compliant with the Advanced Host
Controller Interface 1.0 specification. Note that while the Intel ICH6/7/8/9, VIA vt8251 and JMicron AHCI controllers support standard
SATA features, the ahci driver currently only supports hard disk, ATAPI SATA DVD, hotplug and NCQ (Native command queuing). Port multiplier
and power management are not yet supported.
CONFIGURATION
The ahci module contains no user configurable parameters.
FILES
/kernel/drv/ahci
32-bit ELF kernel module (x86).
/kernel/drv/amd64/ahci
64-bit ELF kernel module (x86).
