I just installed a new SATA hard drive and it does not show up in /dev/sd*

When looking at my boot up with dmesg I see
Code:

ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:0a.0[A] -> GSI 12 (level, low) -> IRQ 12

fdisk /dev/sd[a,b,c,d]

Code:

Unable to open /dev/sd[a,b,c,d]


and fdisk -l does not show /dev/sda, only my /dev/hda

And I have compliled my 2.6 kernel with Sillicon Image support.

Am I missing something?
HELP!!!

Thanks for your time and looking.

UPDATE:

I tried booting from 2004.3 live cd and fdisk /dev/sda works just fine. So I must be missing something in my kernel or my boot, any ideas?

Thanks for your time.

Do you remeber what was missing in your kernel? I have same HW configurantion and same problem with not working SATA disk /dev/sda

When I boot from Gentoo Install CD, drive is ready, but in my kernel not.

Please help.

You should only need "SCSI disk support" and the appropriate SATA driver under "SCSI low-level drivers" (this is in "make menuconfig", of course; I don't have a .config file to look at right now).

I have all this stuff checked in my kernel config (set by "make menuconfig"), but still it is not working.
I was try to check what modules are loded from Install CD and try to add them directly to kernel, no I think that there is everything same, but my /dev/sda is still unreachable. :(

Thank's for reply

Rereading your original post, I am beginning to wonder if this is a udev problem (since your controller and disk seem to be detected okay). You are using udev, right?

Thanks for right idea with udev.

I fix it with recompile my kernel with genkernel, this machine is only used as samba server and I don't want to spent much time with it.
