Well, dmesg from current would be definitely more helpful, but I assume 
that it's hard to get it without hard disk ;)
Are you sure that only disks weren't recognized, or maybe AHCI 
controller? Search for these lines in dmesg:

Additionaly, check for some error messages and uknown devices in the 
log. Another thing to try is changing operating mode of the controller 
(in BIOS) - you should find at least 2 modes - AHCI and NATIVE IDE, 
possibly RAID na LEGACY IDE. Good luck!
