In my case, it was a fresh install, which made it quite a bit more
painful to fix because I had to go through the procedures twice and
did not have a working kernel to fall back on. It's the scenario I've
always dreaded, and then one day it actually happens. When I re-did
the install, I erased the partition table and started anew, so there
was no old cruft to begin with.
I'm not sure if this contributed to anything, but I enabled all the
relevant RAID support the second time around. Since I only have one
SATA drive, I simply turned off RAID support initially in the kernel,
but it's possible that this particular combination of hardware was
expecting a RAID driver...
I'm so clueless sometimes trying to figure out some of these kernel
options... haha. The really technical ones where it's like a foreign
language. I love the "if unsure, say N here." or "if you don't know
what this is, you probably don't need it - say N here." ;-)
