Need help geeting a SATA drive accessible

[Joseph C. Lininger]

Well, 2.6 definitely has support for SATA controlers, so you should in 
theory be able to get it working provided that the controler in your system 
is one that is supported. What boot messages, if any, do you get? I may be 
able to figure out what is wrong with it if you tell me specifically what it 
is saying.
