Ubuntu installation problems

I have just received a new PC for home/office use. It is a sweet machine boosting a Athlon 3000+ with an Asrock 939 Dual SATA II mobo. I have the HDD connected to the Sata II connection and successfully installed windows XP on it (it did require a driver though) but Ubuntu fails miserably on this machine.
I did some research and I found out that it is most likely a problem with the combination of a IDE DVD drive and a SATA Harddrive.
I have exactly the same problem with my own PC (a MSI NeoV-2 with 2 IDE HardDrives and 2 IDE optical drives, SATA support is onboard but disabled in the BIOS) so I doubt it is just a problem with the combination of these two. I am extremely disappointed in Ubuntu for failing to fix these critical bugs.
As we speak I am downloading the installation CD for Dapper Drake if that fails I will have to keep Windows XP on those two machines. I suggest that if Ubuntu wants to fix Bug #1 they start by fixing this bug.
I submitted a Bug report :
