SATA /dev/sda handle, where are you?

[Bana]

I am trying to get my SATA drive working and I have already done it once (with a FC1 i386 install) and am trying to do it again (x86_64) yet I don't recall how to fix this. My recompiled 2.6.4 kernel works like a charm with libata and sata-sil support as modules. My dmesg looks like this after modprobing sata_sil:
libata version 1.01 loaded.
sata_sil version 0.53

It has correctly found my HD (woohoo!) yet there are no /dev/sda handles (or anything), in otherwards: nothing to mount to! Perhaps I don't have scsi emulation compiled right? Any way to check this?

Okay I got it (never fails, I always solve it right after I ask). In my config file I had SCSI disk support setup like a module therefore I had to probe it (sd_mod) and then voila:
scsi8 : sata_sil
Vendor: ATA Model: HDS722516VLSA80 Rev: 1.01
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

SCSI device sdb: drive cache: write through
sdb: sdb1
Attached scsi disk sdb at scsi5, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

RESOLVED and done.

LOL. It's usually always the same with me as well. If I decide to post a problem I'm having somewhere, by the time I check for replies, I've most likely solved it myself! Impatience is a bad thing..
