There are several sets of messages you should be getting. There should be |
| 16 |
one for the driver, one for the controller, and then one for each drive. I |
| 17 |
get: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
libata version 2.00 loaded. |
| 20 |
ata_piix 0000:00:1f.2 version 2.00 |
| 21 |
... |
| 22 |
ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 ... |
| 23 |
ata2: PATA max UDMA/33 ... |
| 24 |

If you're getting literally nothing, you didn't get the right options or |
| 26 |
something. If you only get line 1, it's not finding your controller (maybe |
| 27 |
the kernel doesn't have the PCI ID, or you need a slightly different |
| 28 |
driver). If you only get lines 1 and 2, your disk isn't connected |
| 29 |
properly, most likely. |
