Edit the grub entry (from the grub menu on boot) so that it uses /dev/ 
hda1 instead. This is what I consider an installer bug, because we  
changed some sata drives back to ide. However, the grub menu uses  
root=/dev/sda1 when it should be using root=UUID=XXX....

When you complete the boot, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, and remove the  
kopt_2_6 line, then rerun "sudo update-grub".
