The newer kernels have an option (Y to build into kernel or M for a
module) for this type of disk drive. So the BL3 kernel is probably too
old to support this drive.

I don't think so - it's supposed to be the replacement for the old
ATA/IDE interface. Instead of a wide cable with many wires, it has a
thin cable (with only about 4 or so pins) that plugs between the
motherboard and drive. It supposedly improves airflow for cooling and
is faster than the old IDE interface.
