See if the BIOS can show the drives as SATA insted of EIDE. I've got a 
server that can do both. I leave it as SATA but I believe Linux can see 
either one.

Make sure it's not a RAID card. My servers have that as well. It doesn't 
work but I see the drives. I went into the software on the card/chip and 
turned off raid.

Hope this helps.
