Hello, Veronica.

Thanks for the info.

On my side, I've installed the latest Ubuntu (feisty) on it (previous 
version didn't work with the local SATA controler)... which works fine. 
It identifies the hard disk controler as an ULi 5287 from ALi 
Corporation. Under it, the SATA drive is seen as a SCSI (go figure)... 
and the disk is perfectly identified... The motherboard chipset is 
identified as RS480...

On the ATA man page, the ALi M5287 disk controler is marked as 
supported... On the HCL, there are several systems with ATI Radeon 
XPRESS 200 and RS48x chipsets that are supported...

So this is really strange.

Gilles.
