Hi, read the wiki and searched around a ton.

Booting off the live cd for 9.04 my SATA hard drives are not detected. an fdisk -l is blank, no media detected. I'm currently running kubuntu 8.04 and it works fine, detects my sata drives, windows detects them, etc. Error given is "ATA 1: SRST FAILED"

this isn't a ubuntu only problem, recent versions of other distro's also fail to detect them, so i'm assuming its a new/bugged kernel thing. If anyone else has/had this problem and found a solution, i'd LOVE to hear it.

I'd really like to run 9.04 as 8.04 doesnt detect my video card and running at 640x480 makes me want to kill myself.

Thanks for your help...
