e-sata question

[Donn]

Yo, again :)

I also got an external drive and while it works via usb, it supports e-sata 
and I did all the relevant plugging-into the m/b I (think) I need. I also 
enabled all SATA stuff I could find in the BIOS.

Gutsy does zip as far as I can see when I turn the drive on. Not a peep in 
dmesg, nor /var/log/messages and certainly no icon on the desktop.

Is there something I need to do, or is e-sata a non-starter on Kubuntu?
