Dave,
I have had a chat with Kevin regarding these issues and he has confirmed
my initial thought. This is that these issues are outside the scope of
the manual.
The Ubuntu Manual's primary goal is to be a getting started guide. It
isn't really a troubleshooting guide.
Thanks for logging bugs with the manual. It is a big help.

Status in Ubuntu Manual: Won't Fix
Bug description:
Hi Guys,
I could not agree more with Bejamin's latest blog posting. There is still a lot
of work to be done on ubuntu before it will become mainstream.
I think you should include something about SATA II drives and bios settings in
the manual. Most pcs have the IDE protocol in the bios enabled by default which
works fine with SATAI drives and linux. I ran both ubuntu 7.10 and mint 8.0 on
a win xp dual bootable system. However, I recently had to replace my drive with
a SATA II drive (Seagate ST350041 BAS) and neither ubuntu nor mint could see
the drive unless I enabled the AHCI controller settings in the bios. Then of
course I could not see my WIN XP partition as the AHCI drivers were loaded.
Unfortunate this can only be loaded during the installation of the OS, so had
to enable ACHI and reload windows before I could access both partitions. There
are several postings on the installation & upgrade forum about guys not being
able to see their hard drives. I believe the problem may be related to kernel
2.6.19.
A second point, the in-line sound is disabled by default in both ubuntu and
linux. This can be only be fixed via the teminal. There are several postings
regarding this setting.
Hope these suggestions will be helpful.
Regards
Dave ([email protected])
