I never see a line like your last two.
Are you running Etch? Have you used SATA before on the MB with Etch?
Check for lines that look like what I have below in your dmesg. Is the
kernel seeing you SATA hardware properly?
Here are the disk-relavant lines from my dmesg: Etch amd64 on Asus
M2N-SLI Deluxe MB Athlon64 3800+, 1GB I have two identical Seagate
Barracuda 80 GB SATA drives, an IDE CD/DVD burner on /dev/hda and an
Iomega Zip drive on /dev/hdb
