Sorry, I can't help you regarding AHCI vs compatibility, but I would like to hear how ubuntu 11.04 works for you. I'm still running 9.something because that's what my Dell netbook came installed with, and since right now it's my only GUI I fear updating it.
I did do a brief bit of googling and ran across someone where their box would only boot under ubuntu if it was set to AHCI and it would only boot under XP if it was set to compatibility. Go figure.
