 Hello,
 
 I have also encountered the same problem. The system is:
 
 Acer Aspire AM1640-U1401A
 
 I have tried to install the following versions of FreeBSD and the
 installer said that it could not find the SATA disk.
 
  - FreeBSD 7.0 Release
  - FreeBSD 6.2 Release
  - FreeBSD 6.1 Release
 
 I installed Ubuntu 8.04.1 and here is the SATA information:

 I was not able to find AHCI in the BIOS to enable.
