It looks like it's the Intel 7320 chipset. In any event I've tried all 
the sata-* drivers, and none of the detect the disk. I have a CD-ROM 
diagnostic disk that spits out all sorts of details like Vendor ID, 
Device ID, Subsystem ID...

I'm wondering if this is more a straight out linux-kernel issue.
