No. My CD-ROM device is successfully detected by any Linux kernel (as
/dev/hda), but the SATA hard disk is not (see below)

Galaxy,

I have tried to include anything SATA-related into the kernel as
built-in rather than as modules, but it still doesn't work. Either I've
missed something, or this initrd does more than just loading required
modules: since the disk is eventually seen as /dev/sda, I suppose that
initrd configures some kind of SCSI emulation in addition to loading
required modules.
