I did lspci -vv and it displayed similar information.
Intel Corp. 82801FB/FW (ICH6) SATA Controller.

There are a bunch of other kernels available too, not listed in that bootdisk list.
I now installed using test26.s which is a 2.6 kernel and was said to support some SCSI devices, but I couldn't mount the disk (using mount /dev/sda1), it said /dev/sda1 couldn't be found in /etc/fstab or something.

This really sucks, now I have to burn the drivers that might hopefully support my wireless chipset on a cd, and all software that I want to ever install (the wireless will most likely never work, since I couldn't even get it to work with Knoppix).

The only reason I'm installing Linux is because in the university I'm attending in 3 days most of the coding will be aimed at *nix platform, and also shell scripting. Only having a shell on the uni server will probably not be practical, so maybe having to burn an occasional cd is not a disaster.
