I had a similar problem with Asus A8V, sata disk not recognised. Later I found out that southbridge (VT8251) was not supported... On your mobo there is VIA VT8237 southbridge, check if this is supported by kernel (kernel-sources). If not, you have to patch kernel first to get your sata-drive recognised... Anyway, for installation I had to use p-ata disk (this was detected by livecd-kernel), install linux on it, patch kernel, then sata-disk was recognised, and finally install on sata disk... BTW, try to switch your sata to ahci. Sometimes helps. But in my case it was definitely not supported southbridge... Jarry -- Analog-/ISDN-Nutzer sparen mit GMX SmartSurfer bis zu 70%!
