Comment 219 for bug 57502

Hello guys!

I have tried one year to get Linux to my "new" computer, still not succeeded... :(

My hardware is following:
Mobo: Abit B9 Intel 965 LGA775 ATX (Having the JMicron SATA controller)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400, 2.13 GHz, Socket 775, FSB 1066, 2MB Cache

And my problem is that HDD is not found.

I just downloaded Kubuntu 7.10beta and tried. Fedora 7 also tried today, also same problem.

I don't know if this helps, but I got following errors during boot:
"usb 3-1 device not accepting addres 2, error -71" and "ata 3.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40)."

Something weird with usb there is, because on all graphical installers I've tried (Fedora, Mandriva etc..) with this hardware I have a terrible slow mouse. My mouse is just standard Logitech USB-mouse.

I've a 12 years experience as a standard Linux-user, but never before installation has been that difficult...

Any idea when this will be fixed.

Meanwhile I'm forced to use M$ ... :( (Which indeed didn't have any installation problems)
