[plug] Missing Hard Drive

Ok, so my kernel is working. Well kinda.
I have one of my drives attached to the secondary IDE RAID controller
on my motherboard. The controller is in straight IDE mode (No RAID)
and with the old kernel it came up as /dev/sda
Before I go through the old .config and the new .config madly pulling
out hair, does anyone know where it may have gone to?
I have got CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=y in my new .config, i need to go
and look for my old .config to compare. I'm sure it's probably just a
driver that i've failed to load. Not sure which one though :(

I've even loaded what I think are the right drivers in the scsi area
for my board, it provides SATA (untested) and i'd think it might give
ide as well. I'm lost for ideas. The Promise drivers are built into
the kernel, i really and out of ideas.

Thanks

Tim
