Yes, I want Jmicron SATA/PATA support so I can access my DVD/CD drive.
I also believe that my Realtek 8168 ethernet needs a very recent kernel.
I think I already mentioned that the next release of Ubuntu should support all of that hardware, they are shipping a 2.6.17 kernel but with the bits you want backported. Release day is October 20th. In fact taking a look, my machine (running the Ubuntu beta release of Edgy) has the module for the jmicron already in it, sounds like the install problem you hit was that it wasn't in the initrd on the boot kernel on the install disc for the beta.
