It is a kernel issue because Ubuntu builds the kernel to suit their distro, in previous versions of the kernel (2.6.17.10) SATA devices such as on my latop work fine, however later versions of the kernel (2.6.17.11 onwards including 2.6.20.15) do not work and cause the error that we are all complaining about.
I also know that Ubuntu builds their kernels because one of the projects I work on at my employer uses Ubuntu exclusively on a bunch of servers. We use the desktop build and even though Ubuntu should be able to access 8GB of ram in version 5.10, it cannot because of the build specification that Ubuntu chose when developing their kernel.
