Dear all,
I have a Dell Optiplex 260 with only ATA support. I bought a cheap
softraid SATA card 3112a PCI card and I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a
500 Gb HD.
I have updated the BIOS version for a non-RAID BIOS since I just want
to use as a PCI SATA card. I got the lastest version from here:

<http://www.siliconimage.com/support/searchresults.aspx?pid=63&cat=15>
The Ubuntu 10.10 CD installer recognizes both, the PCI SATA card and
the 500 Gb HD. I *can* install a system with no issue.
However when the system reboots I *can't* boot from the HD. The BIOS
shows in the hard-drive drive sequence the Hitachi SATA drive. However
when it boots it does nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
Miguel
