That's funny - I have the same problem, just with ATA instead of SCSI.
All of my drives are SCSI, I have one IDE 200gb drive used for storage.
I ran into a minor glitch on Ubuntu install, installed stopped at
installing grub - I think it didn't know which drive to install onto,
recall I had that problem with Fedora awhile back and had to manually
specify MBR on /dev/sda - anyways, I figured a quick fix would be to
disable (disconnect) the IDE drive and do the install. Lo and behold,
it worked.
However, now I reconnected the drive, booted up, tried to mount... and
discovered the same problem you had - no /dev/hd* device files. I tried
putting ide-disk in /etc/modules, but to no avail. Any suggestions
anyone?
