If you include these numbers that you replaced with X's then the answer becomes clearer. The numbers tell what module for the device is missing.
Aren't all new Dell's coming with SATA drives now? If so then your numbers would be some thing like unknown-block(8,1) or unknown-block(8,5) You can boot a kernel with Reiserfs and (S)ATA modules but you need to use an initrd to start the system, it will need to contain a copy of the modules, insmod and a script to load them. There are programs that build initrd's automatically but I find they do a crappy job of it and I like to build my initrd files manually.
