While being with CRAVE we discovered a strange problem. For Crave Project AMD64Athlon with ASUS motherboard, SATA hard disk, 1GB RAM were ordered. Now ASUS motherboard had a chipset of VIA. Its southbridge chipset is VT8215 and for this chipset there are no drivers in linux for SATA hard disk. SUSE, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu none of the Distributions could detect any SATA hard disk during installation. This made us to come in the soup. So now for the time being most of the machines will have a PATA hard disk. Then after recompiling the kernal it is possible to run Ubuntu on SATA hard disk with VT8215 chipset.
I had similar combination but my chipset was VT8237. This worked. I could nicely install along with SATA drives.
On Ubuntu forums few other people also faced similar problem. One guy had made iso of ubuntu for such a system. For time being that will also be installed on one of the machine.

My friend and I were recently talking about how involved with technology our daily lives have become. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory falls, the possibility of transferring our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could encounter in my lifetime.
