I see linux partitions only on /dev/hdb (hdb2,hdb3, and hdb4).  You have no 
Linux partitions mounting on hdaX at all.  You need to figure out which 
partition is the linux partition on hda (as root# fdisk -l /dev/hda is your 
friend) and create manual entries for it:

/dev/hdaX /some_name ext2 rw 0 0

I have one that looks like this:

/dev/hda9 /backup ext2 defaults 1 2
