Thats great news, I'm glad to hear you've fixed it. Would you be able to run a couple more tests, now that you've solved the problem, to help a) us ensure that this isn't a regression, and b) try to fix the issue so that other people don't have the same problem in the future?
First off, could you give us your newest lsmod, dmesg, lspci -vv and lspci -vvn output now that it is working. And second, could you please try booting an older version that worked (the more recent the better), changing the BIOS setting back to [IDE], and seeing if the disk is recognised. If it is, please provide those four outputs again, along with the "uname -a" line. Thanks a lot. Finally, as a side note, could someone on QA please mark this as either "medium" or "High" importance, since it could be a showstopper, but only for a limited number of people (i.e. those who only have SATA disks) Thank you very much for helping to improve Ubuntu! -Gabriel -- can't find sata disk kubuntu 7 beta https://launchpad.net/bugs/95383 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
