One (tiny) question. When you rebooted and the harddisks came by in the
kernel messages (try 1 above), was hde a harddisk?
My guess here is that the harddisk suddenly moved to hda7 and you should
boot using:
linux root=/dev/hda7 ide0=noautotune ide1=noautotune ide2=noautotune
ide3=noautotune
Then, modify fstab and lilo.conf/grub to point to hda instead of hde.
I submitted this bug already.
Kind regards,
