I know exactly what's going on! I saw the same messages yesterday
when I moved a machine from plain old IDE to using a 3Ware RAID
controller. Boot an installer system or knoppix or something, load
the driver for your SATA controller, mount the disk, edit /etc/modules
and list the driver for your disk controller there. Then chroot to
the disk that's supposed to be your system and run 'dpkg-reconfigure
kernel-image-2.6.4-1-686-smp'. Running dpkg-reconfigure will rebuild
the initrd image and since /etc/modules now lists the driver needed
for your disk controller that driver will be included in the initrd
and then the kernel will be able to actually see the disk while it
tries to boot. (at least, that was the situation yesterday with the
RAID card)
