One more observations from my little experience: Probably you have a SATA (Serial ATA) disk and you forgot to check the module for that while configuring the kernel. OR probably, this is a SCSI device and you have disabled SCSI support while kernel config. Do make sure that you have enabled the module of the disk type you are using. I agree this is not limited to SATA module - but I found that as most happening error for me.
