The harddrive that are detected are an external old ide hanging outside the
cabinet in a flat cable, and the detected 8139-ethernet card are also optional.
Without disk or ethernet you cant even try to install anything from a ubuntu
installmedia. You get a red flashing screen, a real showstopper.

I believe that is the lack of SATA-disks that is the largest problem, its easyer
to live with a cheap optional ethernet card than without hard disks.

And yes all drivers that should be nessesary are loaded, sata_sis for SATA and
sis900 for ethernet on motherboard. According to SIS they have put the latest
versions of SATA drivers with kernel 2.6.10 (if I did not missundertod their
README-file distributed with the sata_sis-driver, see uploaded file)
