I hit this bug while installing on a ASRock 4coredual-vsta motherboard
(http://www.asrock.com/MB/overview.asp?Model=4CoreDual-VSTA).
I was using the Karmic beta CD currently on Ubuntu.com. Since sata_via
is so widely used, please add this to the known issues so it's easier
for others to know what

working around the problem (loading sata_via.ko from an external drive) I
succeeded to install.
It then worked because sata_via.ko is present in version 2.6.31-10-generic or
2.6.31-11-generic by default, but not in 2.6.31-9 included in the installer (at
least in the alternate/server one).

Looks like sata_via was built into the kernel for Jaunty but enabled as
a module for Karmic. One fix would be to set CONFIG_SATA_VIA=y in
Karmic like it was in Jaunty or alternatively add sata_via to the
ubuntu-karmic/debian.master/d-i/modules/sata-modules file. This should
be resolved with a

same problem here with karmic alpha6 server i386 cd;
cannot install karmic because it doesn't recognize the SATA controller (so it
doesn't recognize disks)
The problem does not show in karmic alpha6 livecd: if I select Run ubuntu
without any changes to the disks it loads the sata_via module, so

obviously sata_via is not in the list of modules that the installer asks you to
select when it alerts you that it can't find any hard drive, and it's not
loadable with modprobe sata_via.
my controller is a VT6420 not a VT6420A, but the driver is the same.
Later I will try the server daily build,
I added debian-installer because I think it could be a misconfiguration of the
server/alternate installer (which does not include or does not load the
sata_via module).
I'm not sure if it's related to the kernel (linux) because the problem does
not appear using the alpha6 livecd (which should
same issue with current daily build (22 september 2009).
