I'm trying to install Karmic server and before the partitioning step it tells me that it can't detect the disk drive, and asks me to give it a driver name from a huge list. The problem is that I don't know what driver to use or how to find it.



I have a Maverick desktop cd, and when I boot into that I am able to view the drive and see the unallocated space in GParted. Unfortunately there are some requirements on the system which prevent me from using anything but Karmic on it right now, so a newer version isn't an option.



Is there a way I can get Karmic on this other than using the karmic installer?



The hard drive is ATA WDC WD1600BJKT-7.

I was able to fix this by changing the SATA controller settings in the BIOS so that it was in AHCI mode and not in IDE mode. After that it booted and installed normally.
