Subject: Support for MCP78 SATA controller

Hello,

When trying to install Debian Lenny today on my new PC it booted the
installation, but failed to recognise the dvd drive, and I could not
continue the installer.
After asking for a solution on #debian at irc.debian.org
(irc.oftc.net), some users have tried to help me with this.
One of them tracked down some information, and suggested me to post to
this mailing list (his name was enouf).

This is the information that I got:

Motherboard: ASUS M3N78 Pro (according to enouf the sata controller is a MCP78)
DVD drive: ASUS DRW-2014

The manual of my motherboard:
http://dlsvr.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socketAM2/M3N78_PRO/e3864_M3N78_PRO_manual.zip

He noticed upport for mcp77 and mcp79, but not for mcp78:

And a review about my motherboard:

Best regards,

P.S.: I am not a member of the mailing list, so if you have an answer
for me could you please CC me?
