Just for the record:
It turns out to be that I did not set the option (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD) in
the kernel under Device Drivers --> SCSI device support --> SCSI disk
support. I compiled the new 2.6.11 kernel with this option on and
everything is running smoothly. Now I have /dev/sda and sdb. I guess
the title of the option is a little bit confusing and it would be great
if it included something about sata disks too. The only tip I got was
the help text for the CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA option, which is not even
in the same category!

The covers of this book are too far apart.
