SATA support, and many many other drivers for current hardware, requires
replacing the ancient Linux 2.0 drivers in gnumach with something newer.
Many people have announced that they will work on this over the past few
years, but nobody ever produced any actual results. There is no reason
to suppose that this will change any time soon.

We know that it doesn't work in Virtualbox, and we don't know why. Well,
maybe some newer version of Virtualbox fixed it in the mean time...
Testing it can't hurt.
It works in qemu, KVM, and Xen though.
