Feisty Live CD doesn't boot on Asus P5B (kernel SATA problems?)

[Teemu Rinta-aho]

More info on the topic.

I succesfully booted up with the live cd in an USB CD-ROM drive.
However, then kernel (2.6.20-8-generic) doesn't seem to recognize
my hard disk (SATA). Pretty difficult to install...

Is anyone working on this problem?

Best regards,
Teemu
