I've got the same board but haven't yet had a stable install of 5.6 yet. However I've tried a few times and had no problems with the AppleVIAATA.kext to get my IDE drives going. The onboard device is a Marvell controller and is ATA only:

 

IDE interface [0101]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE6101 single-port PATA133 interface [11ab:6101] (rev b2)

 

My problems are with fans and SATA, are you experiencing similar issues? If not, would you kindly share with me how you got to 5.6? Did you start retail or use a distro and what kexts are you using or other work-arounds?

Ok, so I've had another go of it and take back all my advice, sort of....

 

I picked up a few more hints and decided to give it a go again and everything is running fine except for ATA so I go ahead and install VIAATA and that's where drive access issues start occurring so I suspected maybe there is conflicts between IOATAFamily.kext maybe - search the forum and come across this updated IOATAFamily.kext from DuNe here and he mentioned editing the existing VIAATA kext to strip out the SATA code. I sent him a note asking how but then just started experimenting and simply removed the strings from IOPCIPrimaryMatch in the Info.plist and reinstalled the kext. I love how all IDE devices are recognized immediately even before a reboot.

 

So far no problems but it's only been la hour. Here is my revised Info.plist but I suggest editing your own in case we're using different versions:
