I am also experiencing the same problem with a Asus p4p800-se (i865pe chipset). I get the "gave up waiting for root device" as well as constant "SRST failed (errorno=-16)" messages (the harddrives are SCSI, the only ATA devices are two cd roms). Bug #278176 is possibly related.
Tried disabling PCI IDE Bus Master, as well as changing IDE Modes (Compatibility / Enchanced), without any luck.
