I think this controller is supported by the sata_promise module. Please
run "lspci -nn" and verify that the controller has the vendor-ID 0x105a
and the device-ID 0x3373. (This should show up as "[105a:3373]"; post
the relevant lines here if you are unsure how to interpret them.)
The next thing to check is which (s)ata modules are loaded; to do this,
run:
lsmod | grep ata
If you don't see sata_promise listed then you should try this command as
root
modprobe -v sata_promise
and also this one (right after boot) for more diagnostics:
dmesg | grep ata
Post the output of all these commands and all error messages (if there
are any) here.
