Is the diagnostic shell single user mode? That would lead me to think
the kernel's bootstrapping to some extent at least and seeing the
disks otherwise where that shell coming from? Unless it's the grub
shell?
What does ...
# fdisk -l
... list if it runs? Can you boot into rescue mode from an install CD,
does it find the installed OS and allow you to chroot into it? If not
does fdisk see the disks at this level?
If it's not getting further than greb then it's likely there's no
support for the disk controller in the initrd installed in boot but
there is in the one used off the CD.
Will.
