My myth backend sits on a XFX 8200 motherboard. My initial intention was to install in it a Western Digital 1 Terebyte SATA Caviar Green hard disk. Unfortunately, my initial attempts failed because both Ubuntu and debian installers failed to recognize the disk.
I have subsequently found a post that explains how to get around this problem when installing linux (http://unixzen.com/?articles/2008/10/05/ubuntu-8-10-on-the-xfx-8200.html).
Essentially the solution involves adding the option pci=nomsi on the grub kernel boot line.
As I had already installed kubuntu on a smaller drive I decided to add the 1 terabyte drive by adding this option to the kernel line in in /boot/grub/menu.lst and this solved the problem.
