There are several sets of messages you should be getting. There should be
one for the driver, one for the controller, and then one for each drive. I
get:
libata version 2.00 loaded.
ata_piix 0000:00:1f.2 version 2.00
...
ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 ...
ata2: PATA max UDMA/33 ...
If you're getting literally nothing, you didn't get the right options or
something. If you only get line 1, it's not finding your controller (maybe
the kernel doesn't have the PCI ID, or you need a slightly different
driver). If you only get lines 1 and 2, your disk isn't connected
properly, most likely.
