Kernel later than kernel-2.6.15-1.1833_FC4.i686.rpm SATA broken?

I was running FC4 and I was running fine with
kernel-2.6.15-1.1833_FC4.i686.rpm.
Then kernel-2.6.16-1.2069_FC4.i686.rpm came out and I upgraded, but my
machine wouldn't boot with it.
Since FC4 has now transitioned to the Fedora legacy project I decided to try
FC5 since the kernel was still kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.i686.rpm.
So I did an upgrade from FC4 to FC5.
I have found out since that the 2.6.15 kernel is more like 2.6.16.
My machine wouldn't boot with the new FC5 kernel. I tried the new 2.6.17
kernel and it doesn't work either.
I was able to load the FC4 kernel-2.6.15-1.1833_FC4.i686.rpm and my machine
now boots.
It appears to not be able to find my SATA disks when sata_via.ko loads.
This is what I see when I boot:
Booting 'Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5)'
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /vmlinux-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 ro root=/dev/V0/L1 acpi=off rhgb quiet

With kernel 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5 the message is pretty much the same except
for:
ata1: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4)
ata2: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4)
A couple of people have suggested running mkinitrd and I have upgraded it
and created a new initrd file and it does the same thing.
When I boot from the installation DVD in linux rescue mode it load sata_via
And everything is fine. Just can't boot off the SATA drive.
I would like to be able to use the current kernel.
I am just not sure how to figure out what broke.
Is it possible to apply patches to the FC4 kernel to get
from 2.6.15-1.1833_FC4 to 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5?
I could load one at a time until it breaks.
And where would I get those patches?
Other suggestions?
Thanks,
Jerry
