All of the boot messages you listed that didn't find the hard drive looked
suspiciously like you forgot to enable the sd driver in the kernel (or
compiled the sd driver as a module).  Run a make menuconfig (or whatever
your preferred make method is) and then make sure that the option <*> SCSI
disk support under SCSI support has an asterisk in the brackets to the left
of it (like I printed above) instead of <M> or < > since either of these two
options will make it so that your disks won't get seen.
