Ah, ok. Not sure what when on there - perhaps you could just try
'lspci --nn' and copy the printout the way you know works?

Hi there I've just got my new computer from pcspecialist. I
can't get it to boot with any version of Ubuntu later than 10.04. It
also won't boot with the latest version of Mint although a Jan 2011
download boots OK.
The motherboard is ASUS® F1A55-M LK R2.0: FM1 A-SERIES, SATA 3.0GB/s

Definitely my bad.

Ok, looks like the same issue, in that the kernel isn't quite recent
enough to support this device.
I'd suggest giving the instructions in the link I posted earlier a go.
