[rhn-users] Kernel unable to recognize Serial ATA

I have installed RHEL 3 on my 40 GB HD. I have intel promise
378controller card which has two RAID1 SATA disk. For some reason the
kernel is unable to recognize my sata drives, although at the boot
time, it does see it.  I would really appreciate if someone could
throw some light on this. RHEL 3 says they support promise 378
controller cards. This is my dmesg log file

I am really confused and have reached a deadend.
Thanks
