and yes, the errors you were seeing had to do w/ the SATA driver.
There is no such thing (not yet at least) as a bord w/ the dirvers installed alread (especially not for linux)
The very nature of a driver is to be an external program which knows what to look for in the particular piece of hardware and then to report information back and forth to the operating system in a pre-determined way (determined by the operating system, ie linux or windows)
