Bug#272443: Sarge installer report - SATA drives not detected on Sis180 chip, Asus p4s800d-e board

[James Todd <jotodd@comcast.net>]

Hi Joey,

I tried lspci, but it doesn't appear to be in the path of the shell I 
get to via alt-f2 when booting through the install off of the dvd image. 
Searching the contents of the dvd doesn't turn it up either. (I'm 
presuming it's a command accessible from the shell. Let me know if 
that's not a valid assumption.)

I'll start downloading the latest dvd image.

Thanks,
James
