Looks like this earlier message didn't get through.

It doesn't find the device either with 2.6.25-git1 or 2.6.25-git2. I've
tried a new kernel with xfs compiled in rather than as a module. The odd
thing is that other boxes with ext3, jfs and reiserfs are fine, 2 of
them with SATA drives are working with 2.6.25-git2.
The BIOS settings (it's the latest BIOS), but it's OK on 2.6.25, just a
problem from 2.6.25-git1.

SATA 1                 [WDC WD5000AAKS-0]

Here goes the messages on boot for 2.6.25-git2.
