I believe the chipset is Nvidia. Here is the output of "lspci -v" on
Ubuntu running on the same system:

Unfortunately, of the above entries I wasn't able to tell what the
specific chipset of the SATA controller is.

Other than "lspci -v" and "dmesg", I not sure how to find the chipset
name under Linux.

Thanks for taking the time to help.
