Public SourceMage Discussion List

I know there are people on this list who have SATA drives, but has anyone 
installed Source Mage to a new, unformatted, unpartitioned SATA drive w/o 
using a PATA drive as a crutch?

Here's what I've done so far:  during the boot of the ISO, the drive is 
recognized and placed at /dev/hde.  The load modules option does nothing, so 
I go to the shell option and manually load fist the sata_via module, then 
when that doesn't fix it, all the sata_* modules (just in case).  fdisk, 
cfdisk and parted refuse to operate on the drive.  I'm thinking that the 
drive should be showing up as something like /dev/sd*, but there's nothing 
there.  What am I missing or doing wrong?
