9 Don't forget to check your BIOS. You might also consider enabling
10 "SCSI-generic (disk)", which would catch ide-emulated disks and put a
11 scsi interface around them in the kernel. (That'd be an emulation
12 layer on top of an emulation layer, though, so far less than ideal)
13
14 Finally, check that it's coming up as "/dev/sda" and not something
15 like "/dev/sdb". The initial scrolling of kernel messages might tell
16 you what devices were detected and what names they were given.
