I was searching around for this and couldn't find anything, so I thought I'd post here.

I'm having an issue installing Ubuntu Server 8.04 64 bit edition on a SATA hard drive. There are 2 drives in the machine, one is 1TB the other is 500 gigs, each is SATA 3.0. I also don't have a floppy drive installed in the machine. I was wondering if there was a way to install this on a dedicated SATA drive? The motherboard is up to date and is broadcasting the SATA drives in the right order, so it's a software issue.

I had installed Fedora Core 9 on the machine without any problems, but I wanted the better flexibility of Ubuntu Server. If there isn't a way to do this, I guess I'll migrate back to Fedora, but I'd rather use Ubuntu for this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

So, the ubuntu installer can't detect the drives, is that what you're trying to say?

Yes. It can't seem to find a base SATA driver for the install.
