i've seen that before.  i don't really have an answer, but the issue was
the motherboard and the ide controller.  as linuxboots, note what it
sees for an ide controller and motherboard/chipset.  then search for
those terms + linux on google.

i'm guessing having linux boot with certain arguments will solve the
problem.
