Um, there are multiple approaches I could imagine. Two of them to follow:

"lshw -short" will list the "storage" devices with their attached "disk"s.
Search system logs for the model listed. (Variation: use dmidecode to identify
your hardware. Also "lspci | grep -vi intel" may give you some clues.)

Alternatively, you might run "lsmod | grep scsi" - in particular the "scsi_mod"
module is one of the most fundamental ones.
Check which other modules depend on it, and compare that to the list of modules
loaded by FAI - which one(s) is/are missing?
With FAI in sysinfo mode, and createvt flag set (of course, no halt or reboot)
you may load modules one by one and check (with "fdisk -l") the disks found...



HTH,
 Steffen
