Comment 7 for bug 463242

I used to be running 11.10 ubuntu server on a Jetway NC9C-550-LF with the ADPE4S-LF daughter board.

11.10 server was never able to see my drives, so i had hoped that upgrading to 12.04 would provide me with a linux operating system that would be able to see my 4 2tb drives and thus allow me to use ZFS.

It does not.

$ sudo lspci -v

I have 4 2tb drives attached to it.

The bios sees those 4 drives.

Ubuntu does not :

what you see there is my:
- 1tb internal drive
- 80g system drive
