IDE hard drive appears as a SCSI devive (sda)
I have posted and reopened an earlier question (#59369) in regard to this problem.
Maybe some astute Ubuntu (or Linux of any brand) guru out there would care to tackle this issue and find out WHY?
I really would like to be able to install Ubuntu 8.04 on this one computer I have!
Plus, it would be nice to know that it (or 8.10) will install on other similar boxes I have!
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

(Is no one out there concerned that the use of kernels post 2.6.19 will possibly result in difficulties on some configurations? I've conclusively proved it and no one seems to give a damn! I like to be able to install 8.04 or even later, but they do not define the hard drive correctly for Ubiquity, or whatever the Installer is, to see and communicate with. Or someone tell me how I can install Ubuntu 9.04 and replace the desktop with the Haughty Heron screen, please?)
