SATA detection

OK, I'm trying to install blag linux, which has an installer that 
searches for drives.  It does not find my SATA drive controller.  But 
the bios sees the controller mounted on the PCI buss and announces the 
two drives I installed.  When I set the bios up on this Gigabyte 
motherboard to select boot order, it offers me a list of possible boot 
devices.  It does not offer a "plug-in controller" like the bios on my 
intel MB, but it does offer a SCSI option.  I assume that this must be 
the same as a plug-in controller.

So I cannot tell if this is a problem with the installer not knowing to 
look for a SCSI controller or if this is a bios problem.

Any ideas out there?
Thanks
