This is a SCSI system.

Note that neither mounting the partitions manually nor reading from the
partitions after mounting them is any problem, it's just that they don't get
mounted automatically.

Here's the output of lspci. Note that I did "lspci" on the currently installed
RHAS21 rather than using the Warty live cd.
