I'm having what appears to be the same issue.  I have a system with 5
SATA drives (one primary, and two in RAID1 pairs), which was set up
originally on Feisty.  After upgrading to Gutsy, only 2 of the 5 drives
were enabled during boot; by switching back to the 2.6.20 kernel the
drives were present.  In upgrading to Hardy and testing its kernel, the
same issue occurs.  The primary drive and one of the RAIDed drives gets
enabled.  The 2.6.20 kernel still works.

Tim, I installed the 2ubuntu4 x86 deb from your ppa and booted it.  It
printed the message "no block devices found", then waited for a couple
minutes and then dropped me into busybox.  It looks like with this
kernel, no hard drive devices are created (not even hdc the cdrom), but
I see fd0.

One other piece of information which may or may not be relevant, the
BIOS for this hardware has a table where it shows detected hard drives,
and has a few settings.  Only two of the sata drives are shown here
(presumably the same two that show up on boot), and the rest are
missing.  I've left all the BIOS settings to defaults for all the
drives.
