Happens to me too with any distro. I was told there was no fix but I'm not sure.

Use the search guys - there are dozens of threads dealing with that problem just here on the forums.

Hardwarepart you need to check for is your mainboards southbridge & wether you need a custom kernel extensions for it to work with OS X, or if you might be able use ahci capability (if present) to make SATA devices work.
