Don't forget to check your BIOS. You might also consider enabling
"SCSI-generic (disk)", which would catch ide-emulated disks and put a
scsi interface around them in the kernel. (That'd be an emulation
layer on top of an emulation layer, though, so far less than ideal)

Finally, check that it's coming up as "/dev/sda" and not something
like "/dev/sdb". The initial scrolling of kernel messages might tell
you what devices were detected and what names they were given.
