Hi,

I'm not totally sure but it is probably the kernel. UT is based on Debian Sarge and the kernel is about a year old. It is probably a case of either:

1, has no support for sata compiled in. You might be able to re-build it with support for your sata chipset. Hint, try "lspci -v | less" from the terminal. I hope lspci is installed ;-)

2, The kernel has no support for your sata hardware in the version they are running. :-( (Wait for an upgrade, or try rolling your own kernel, or perhaps the debian sarge repos have a backport of a later kernel?)

If you go into the bios of the system effected, there should be an option to enable legacy support for SATA drives. Do this, and it should work. This is mostly seen in newer Dell systems, they use an Intel SATA chip that the kernel supports, but only as legacy.
