The problem isn't the entire motherboard, but the PATA/ATAPI controlled.

Feisty has the kernel (2.6.20) that will support this controller, so one 
option would be to install that even though it's still in development.

Another option would be to have a pure SATA machine.  Buy a SATA CD/DVD and 
don't use the PATA controller at all.
