Does it have "boot/try other devices?" Disable everything else. Removable or "other devices" should see it. If not, have you gone into the SATA firmware to enable the drive? After the normal POST you should see the SATA firmware diagnostics, and a "press X to configure" message.
SCSI is the common hook for many SATA (and other custom device) implementations because much of the logic is already there. Phases, disconnects, etc. SATA is something of a dumbed down serial SCSI anyway. Not SAS, but the important stuff maps well.
Oh, and what is the motherboard and its BIOS version?
