Cannot install Suse 8.1 on SATA HDD... help

Current setup,
2.4c on Abit IC7-G
Seagate SATA HDD on SATA1,
WD PATA with SATA Serillel converter on SATA2,
CDRW on IDE1 Master
DVD on IDE1 Slave (I will be placing them on seperate IDE connectors)

I'm figuring it's the Kernel, but I try to install SUSE on my system
it freezes about 30 seconds in... while reading the install log on the
screen it says

"PCI_IDE: unknown ide controller on PCI bus 00 deivce f9, VID=8086,
DID=24d1
PCI: Device 00:1f.1 not available because of resource collisions
PCI_IDE: (ide_setup_pci_device) Could not enable device.
PCI_IDE: unknown ide controller on PCI bus 00 deivce fa, VID=8086,
DID=24d1"

my bios is set to enhanced mode (4 PATA and 2 SATA devices)

I have been reading online and people are saying something about
legacy mode, what I think is legacy mode doesn't seem to work either.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks,
Alessandro
