The BIOS sees the SATA drives, but the kernel doesn't. The old motherboard
had a VIA chip set, while the new one has the nVidia nForce 430 chip set.
Perhaps my installation (Slack 10.2, kernel 2.6.13) doesn't have a proper
driver - I've heard I need one called sata_nv, while all I can find in
/lib/modules/2.6.13/kernel/driver/scsi are dpt_i2o.ko, ipr.ko, sata_sis.ko,
and sata_xs4.ko.
In that case, I think that all that can reasonably be done is for you to
upgrade your kernel or - probably the better option - use this as an
opportunity to upgrade the whole installation.
Slackware-12.0 works well enough on those motherboards but if you use a
USB printer you would be better advised to install Debian. Slack "loses"
/dev/usb/lp as soon as you send a job to the printer.
