How are the sata BIOS settings now and then (sata/ahci/raid)? Maybe you need to load a kernel module that was present in the old system (sata) but now is not available in the new one (ahci)?
Old mobo could not use sata, did not use it + no raid. New mobo uses sata, still don't use raid. New mobo has 1 sata disk that was USB in old mobo and sata dvd burner.
Or maybe your GRUB has to be properly updated for looking into the right "root (hdx,n)" device?
Let me do a grub-install, but it finds the root device and boots it, but it hangs after initrd with "waiting for root file system"
