    This is a serial ATA chipset.

    http://www.linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html

    Make sure you have sata_via module listed in /etc/mkinitrd/modules and
    then re-install the 2.6 kernel (this will create a new initrd image).

    Then at boot time, edit grub so that root=/dev/sda1

    I know 2.4 shows the drive as hda but 2.6 will see it as sda because
    this is how libata works.
