Thanks for your reply Aaron,

Therein lies the problem, dmesg shows several pci0: entries followed by rather cryptic comments. Mainly, <unknown card> (vendor="a hexadecimal code", dev="another hexadecimal code") at 9|8|12 irq 11|5|11
There are others pcib0, pci1 but these have identifying vendors & dev
So I am not sure if the kernel is seeing the adapter, but it is definitely not seeing the drive. I was therefore trying to determine if I was dealing with a PCI adapter or a partition size problem.
