I've recently had those problems also on a Dell server, using SATA too. The
fine guys from #gpul helped me a lot on this. Basically, what happened to me
is that kernel 2.4 mapped the SATA drive as /dev/hdc and kernel 2.6 mapped it
to /dev/sda
So I booted using the installer with the linux26 option, followed the
installation until the HD partitioning screen, jotted down the hard disk
device (/dev/sda), switched to console 2 and mounted the partition. Then I
changed /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst acordingly. Everything worked fine
when I rebooted.
That's what I did on the same symptoms and worked for me.
