[Wlug] SATA chipset Sil 3132

[Eric Stein]

Hi all,

I've recently acquired some more hard drives and I just plugged one in 
to the secondary SATA ports on my motherboard for the first time.  
However, my Gentoo box isn't  seeing it.  I have an Abit AN8-32X 
motherboard (the other drives are on the Nvidia SATAII controller).  For 
info about the board, go here:

In make menuconfig (from the kernel I am running right now (2.6.18)):
<*>         Silicon Image chipset support


My BIOS lists a drive in the Sil SATA display during IDE/SATA scanning.  
I have swapped the drive to the other controller to see if it is a 
hardware problem with the drive.  It shows up in LSPCI, but it doesn't 
show up in fdisk -l.

Where's /dev/sde hiding?
