    Hi all,

    I have Debian SID on my machine running on an IDE disk [No problem
    here]. I also have 2 SATA (ntfs) disks on the silicon chipset of my
    mobo [Those are the ones I can't mount]. I compiled my own kernel
    (2.6.10) and got the kernel to see the two drives. When I do a "cat
    /proc/scsi/scsi" I get :
    Attached devices:
    Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
      Vendor: ATA Model: WDC WD1200JD-00G Rev: 02.0
      Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05
    Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
      Vendor: ATA Model: WDC WD2000JD-00H Rev: 08.0
      Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05

    When I check the /proc/partition file, none of them show up there.
    I tried mounting /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda but both return "mount:
    /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device".

    I did a Linux-Google search for "mount sata drive" but nothing useful
    came up.

    What am I missing here?

    Thx,
    ib
