Right. That's because there are no Linux partitions on hda. There probably never will be, but I still want to be able to mount that drive from Linux in order to access the data that resides there. I also need to recognize it in order to run LILO so I can start playing around with my own kernels.

I see linux partitions only on /dev/hdb (hdb2,hdb3, and hdb4). You have no Linux partitions mounting on hdaX at all. You need to figure out which partition is the linux partition on hda (as root# fdisk -l /dev/hda is your friend) and create manual entries for it:

/dev/hdaX /some_name ext2 rw 0 0

I have one that looks like this:

/dev/hda9 /backup ext2 defaults 1 2

I'm in the middle of playing around with my CDRW drive too, so that entry may look weird.

The hda is working fine. It's the master on a dual-boot system and has
the XP OS and most of my data on it. It shows up in BIOS during boot
just fine. The hardware also seems to be detected in dmesg, but no
drivers are available. And I just double checked the jumper and it's set
to 'master', not cable select.
