Booting with SATA?

| Yep, I've searched a bunch and looks like maybe you can't do a clean install
of Ubuntu using a single SATA HD. At least in my case.
I've installed quite a few distros, but have never used a sata HD before. I
have the driver for Win, but I don't want win! (It's a nvidia nForce Gigabit
chipset)
Any ideas? Maybe load GAG and manually set up the partitions? Already tried
all the bios settings and flashed the bios, too.
Is this a common problem for ALL the current distros? Any direction would
help.....
TIA>

I did a netinstall of Debian amd64 etch on this machine onto a SATA drive
not that long ago. NVidia chipset (sata_nv driver).

I did the same thing but on an ATI SB600 chipset a few months back. The
Debian CD didn't see the SATA drive so I did some searching. What ended
up working is putting PCI=NOMSI in the boot parameters. You might want
to google that and make sure it is right since I did it at home and I'm
at work now (my memory isn't too bad, but it was a few months ago). I
would think it would also work with Ubuntu since it's Debian based. HTH.

Did you try Debian/Etch or Debian/Sarge when you did this? I is quite
a difference...

my asustek athlon64 socket 939 Mb had no problem booting from the sata
drives. In fact, I have a software raid setup with lvm. works great!
Installed from Etch cd#1 with kde, but used 'net to get packages.

It was Etch, about a month before the official release.
