Sorry if this sounds primitive but if there was a problem with your migration your form_for would throw an error about missing the name field, so I suspect something is cached or the server needs a restart
I would guess that you either need to restart your mongrel server, or whichever server you have running the application, and you ran rake db:migrate right? What server are your running under? Otherwise I wouldtry script/console and then just type > Comment <enter> or > Comment.new <enter> see if the name attribute is there. Also I would try adding some other text to your erb files to make sure they are updating...?
