    An IDE controller on the VT8237 chipset provides IDE HDD/CD-ROM with
    PIO, Bus Master and
      Ultra DMA 133/100/66 operation modes.
     - Can connect up to four Ultra ATA drives.
    • Serial ATA/150 controller integrated in VT8237.
     - Up to 150MB/sec transfer speeds.
     - Can connect up to two Serial ATA drives.
     - Supports RAID 0 or RAID 1. 
    Does your bios detect the drive?
    If it doesn't the read the manual because we had similar issues with
    this board and windoseXplease here on the proline production line.
    We are the agents for Msi SA so if you could give me more info on your
    bios setup I could possible help.
    I will in the mean time send my contacts at msi mail requesting the
    linux drivers for your chipset. You could possible also get them from
    viarena.com 
    I will check for it might take some time though.
    Later...
