Gparted on install picks up the IDE drives as Sata, so where I expected Hda, Hdb, Sda, and Sdb, I got Sda, Sdb, Sdc, and Sdd. The last 2 are the IDE drives.

Then when the information is passed to Grub, it uses its own numbering system starting with Hd0, and as I installed on Sdc, Grub looks for the operating system on Hd2, the third hard drive. So it actually looks for the operating system on the first Sata Hard drive. I dare say if I installed on the first Sata Hard drive Sda, grub would be looking for the operating system on Hd0, the first IDE Drive.

So any newcomer to Kubuntu with an IDE and Sata Drive attached to their motherboard is likely to not have the best of experiences.

The chipset which controls both the IDE and Sata drives on the Motherboard in question is Via VT8237S. This chipset was okay under Kubuntu 7.10.

The error message is error 22 no operating system found.
