- you're running into "ordering" problems ..
- which modules are run against the hardware in which order
- prev sda is now sda in the new kernel if at all etc,
- insmod the modules for the missing scsi and ide controllers
- if the modules doesnt exist or doesnt load, you have no
choice but to use a newer kernel
- all these probelms diappears when you build your own kernel
and you may or may not have to remapp sda to sdb and vice versa
