When I had to replace the MB of a similar, older system, I used a non-
HP MB.
Later when I wanted to beef it up, the new MB only had 2 SATA ports and
I wanted to install more drives.  So I purchased a really cheap SATA
controller card.

I got a store-brand SSD and to my surprise the MB controller did not
see it but the cheap controller did.  Blaming the store-brand SSD,
I returned it and got a Crucial SSD.  Same problem though.  So it
was the controller, not the SSD.  MB controller worked fine with
other SATA drives, but not with the SSD.

Jon,

I went to Fry's yesterday to pick up SATA controller card and the Fry's
expert told me that their SATA controllers did not work with Linux.
 Can you look up the name of the SATA card that you used and publish
it. 

Thanks,

Greg
