Comment:
Ben, this looks like a kernel bug to me.

udev has correctly loaded sata_nv (where the user says their drive should appear), along with amd74xx (which is the Plain-old-ATA driver I'd expect for this motherboard).

No scsi devices are showing up, either under /sys/bus/scsi/devices (which exists, but is empty) or /sys/class/scsi_device (again exists but is empty).

I don't see a udev bug here because it's done everything it has been told to, and there's no evidence it's gone wrong.  It looks like the driver isn't working correctly.
