I had a XenExpress 3.2 cd handy to boot in this same machine, and one
thing I note is that it assigns the same hardware/drives significantly
differently.

XenExpress 2.6.16.38                       Feisty 2.6.20.13

hd[a-d] Promise Controller 1               hd[a-d] Onboard VIA controller       
          
hd[e-h] Promise Controller 2               sd[ab]  Promise Controller 1
hd[i-j] Onboard VIA controller             sd[cd]  Promise Controller 2

The boards BIOS has on option to set the hard disk order, and it is set
with as follows:

onboard master:  1st
onboard slave:   2nd
promise1 master: 3rd
promise1 slave:  4th
promise2 master: 5th
promise2 slave:  6th

Don't know if this helps, but thought I would provide it as additional
info.  Is there a chance that perhaps the kernel code in the newer
Feisty kernel that reads the BIOS drive order is provided as a module
and somehow isn't included in my initrd image???  If so, what is the
name of that module please???
