Did you, by any chance, happen to boot with another kernel than the  
one you were running before rebooting? If the VDs aren't seen it could  
be that the initrd image does not contain the necessary drivers to  
talk with the card; this usually means mkinitrd got hosed when  
installing the new kernel.
