modprobe when the system dumps you into the tinylinux boot loader. I
tried loading as many of the sata modules as I could find on the system
to no avail. Something either was left out in the new builds or
...shrug. myself and my co-worker who use ubuntu as a primary os for a
number of servers have decided that we are going to wait until this
problem gets fixed.

Is there a bug report open about your problem in Launchpad? I did try
to search for one, but didn't find anything (but with the quantity of
bug reports open about the kernel, I may have missed it...)

There are several bug reports active on this issue, however for some
reason, "they" are not treating this a critical. bug number is 90684

Here's the link:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/96084

For all those responding to this list, can you please post the SATA
chipset that your computer is using (if you can find it). Narrowing this
down could help us figgure out what's missing.
