I've seen weird things like this on some of the new boxes Dell is
selling. I was able to get around it by turning off RAID in the
BIOS. For some reason, it seems they don't behave well with one drive
and RAID enabled. Anyway, it's a shot in the dark, but you might give
it a try.

I'm trying to set up a Mythbuntu system with a single SATA hdd, but

It works when I install Mythbuntu and GRUB onto a parallel ATA hdd,
but as soon as I enable SATA in the BIOS with the SATA drive
connected it hangs at 1.5. I've installed Mythbunto onto the SATA
using just about every possible combination of install/setup
options. I know it's not (100%) a hardware problem (although I
suspect buying a new mobo may solve the problem) because the system
boots fine with LILO. I'm not sure if it's:
a) Mythbuntu making some incorrect assumptions about my
configuration and telling GRUB to do the wrong things ("/boot" or
"/" being described incorrectly to GRUB).
b) The BIOS not supporting SATA correctly - There's an option in the
BIOS "enable onboard SATA", but IRCers and some web pages have
suggested there should be other settings to indicate the boot
priority (not to be confused with boot order).
or
c) GRUB not doing something correctly.
