So I take it you didn't specify any modules for INITRD_MODULES in
/etc/sysconfic/config ?
The IDE drivers are compile into the kernel, SATA and SCSI have to be
specifically loaded.
It may be a kernel related problem.
Not sure if a new Kernel will be out by the time we release 1.2.14

Actually I like the idea, so I added 2 new parameters to
/etc/sysconfig/config, to disable the MD and LVM autostart.
