[Gllug] A technical question on ABIT KT7A boards

[jane taylor]

I've got a KT7A (RAID) motherboard currently working in my main
machine. Up until now it's been working on the regular IDE slots with
four UDMA-33 or older standard  IDE devices. But I've now got a 40GB
UDMA 100 HDD on the extra IDE controller, which was visible and
formattable under W2K but so far is being resoundingly invisible to
Linux. This is now my main data disk, so I could do with seeing it.  

Am I right in thinking that I need to have SCSI support enabled in my
kernel to see this (non-mirrored) disk in addition to my usual four
devices, and that it will then be visible as /dev/sda?  Am I being
optimistic? Has anyone tried this? (I'm asking before leaping as I
have a nice stable system right now...)

thanks...
