This is the only message I am receiving:
libata version 2.00 loaded.
As far as kernel setup, I am using gentoo sources, 2.6.18 r3. These
SATA configs:
moonunit linux # grep SATA .config
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_AHCI is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SVW is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_MV is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_NV is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_QSTOR is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_PROMISE is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SX4 is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL24 is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIS is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_ULI=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VIA is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VITESSE is not set
Thank you.

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.

I consider that the golden rule requires that if I like a program I
must share it with other people who like it.
