I'd still strongly recommend, if you haven't done so, check your BIOS
to make sure your SATA controller doesn't have RAID mode enabled. I've
seen the odd weird interaction between Linux, the BIOS, and the SATA
controller (especially early non-"Intel ICH" family) that was traced
back to that setting.
