I have a SuperMicro 5013C-MT with the P4SCT+ motherboard and am having
trouble
with all Linux distributions (Debian, Gentoo, Redhat ES3 and
Ubuntu). No distributions will detect the SATA drives and therefore
cannot install.
That motherboard has an Adaptec/Marvell SATA controller, which does not
have a open source driver in those distributions. There is an
open-source driver in the very latest 2.6 kernel releases, but it won't
be included in the installer kernels for any of those distros.
You will either have to:
A) use the Intel SATA controller and skip the Adaptec one until you get
the distro up and running and can update the kernel
B) build your own installer kernel using a more up-to-date kernel source
tarball
C) build a module you could load from a 'driver disk' for the distros
that support them, using a backport of the open-source driver
