Oy. The log snippet that you're showing is a side effect of the brief period
where the sata driver was capable of dealing with the older piix chipsets. It's
not related to the rest of this bug, though.

If you haven't done much on the box, installing with a new snapshot, or the
array 7 CD will be the simplest fix.

Otherwise, you'll need to edit /etc/mkinitrd/modules, and add three lines:

piix
ide-disk
ide-generic

Then reinstall the newer kernel. This should allow your system to boot with the
newer kernel.

Once you have the system up, you can safely remove those lines again, and future
upgrades will detect the root driver correctly.

If you have further issues related to this, please open a new bug.

Tks,
