This is a kernel config issue. Here's how to resolve it:
  • Go to/usr/src/linux
  • type
    Code:
    make menuconfig

  • Go to Device Drivers
  • Disable ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL Support
  • Enable Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers
  • Go into Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers and select your controllers (if you don't know them, try tying
    Code:
    lspci
    on the command line and looking around.
  • Exit, save your config and recompile/install your kernel

Should now be sorted.

Someone in kernel land realized at some point that there wasn't much point in having separate realms for PATA and SATA to live in and that they could be quite harmonious munching on the same grass in the same field.

Yay for cow metaphors!
