Many thanks to those who replied on this. The collective replies made me
wonder what would happen if I reduced the system to a "plain vanilla" one,
temporarily removing the three stata drives from the equation.
The result is that I now have Ubuntu 7.0.4 installed and booting from hard
disk which reported SCSI9(0,1,0) by gparted.
Now to add back the sata drives but not connected to sata channels 0, 1 and
2 which they were roiginally, but rather as channels 1, 2 and 3. My hope
is that the BIOS regards sata channel 0 as being the JMicron device in the
absence of a physical stata drive at channel 0.
We shall see :-)
