Here Are Some Suggestions...

Smilie GXDeMoNN, I have a couple of suggestions. More recently, in December, 2006, I assembled a desktop computer using a 120-GB hard disk drive(SATA-2) and an Asus AV-8N motherboard. This worked quite well with Windows XP-SP2, Pro and Ubuntu Linux(vers. 6.10, 7.04 and 7.10).

One possibility would be to try the latest version of Ubuntu Linux, version 7.10. Since it can be downloaded for free, the price is certainly right. Sadly, SATA is a pretty new technology and if your motherboard has an older and incompatible implementation of that standard, then that might the problem right there. Can you download a newer SATA driver for your motherboard from its manufacturer's website?

Be sure to post if any of these suggestions help.

NAME
jmide -- JMicron Technology JMB36x PCIe to SATA II/PATA controller driver SYNOPSIS
jmide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000 ahcisata* at jmide? DESCRIPTION
The jmide driver supports the JMicron Technology JMB36x IDE controllers. These PCI-e controllers exist in different flavors (1 or 2 PATA Ultra/133 ports and/or 1 or 2 SATA-II ports), and are highly flexible. The SATA ports can be attached to the integrated AHCI controller or attached to the PCI IDE channels in PATA emulation, in either single-drive emulation on each PCI IDE channels, or in master/slave emulation on one of the PCI IDE channels. When enabled, the AHCI controller can either be on the PCI function 0 or function 2. The PCI IDE controller can also be on either PCI func- tion, and can share the PCI function with AHCI. The jmide driver supports both the AHCI controller and PCI IDE controller in various config- urations. SEE ALSO
ahcisata(4), ata(4), atapi(4), intro(4), pci(4), pciide(4), wd(4), wdc(4) AUTHORS
The jmide driver was written by Manuel Bouyer. BSD
