    Sounds like your SATA drive wasn't detected.

    Please double-check that your config changes didn't disable it, but
    otherwise:

    please specify _which_ SATA driver you are using so that Jeff & co can try
    to figure out what broke since 2.6.14.

    Also, if you can pinpoint where it broke better, that probably helps
    (most sata changes were in -rc1, but there were some sata_mv and sata_sil4
    changes in in -rc2 too, so even just poinpointing it to either of those
    will help, although the daily builds might be even better).
