SATA disc and fstab

Sun Apr 10 16:17:44 UTC 2005

You'll have to enable sata disk support in jour kernel. See the wiki for 
a how to comile your kernel.

Still think this is a bug; The installer gives you the option to install 
ubuntu on hd[a-z] with /home mounted on /dev/sd[a-z] but it simply won't 
work because the lack of sata support in the kernel. Basically the 
problem is ubuntu tries to mount a sata disk way before the sata 
module/drivers are loaded. So fix the kernel or don't give users this 
option while installing
