14 9 times out of 10, this message means you did not include the drivers
15 for your disk in the kernel. Possibly you compiled them as modules.
16
17 For SATA, you must have SCSI subsystem, SCSI disk, and SATA support
18 built in. Something like this:
19
20 grep -e SCSI -e SD /usr/src/linux/.config | grep -v "^#"
21 CONFIG_SCSI=y
22 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
23 CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
24 CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX=y
25
26 If any of the above say =m, your kernel will not boot correctly.
