I am aware that /dev/hda changed to /dev/sda in 2.6.19, but what I see now on my computers working in 2.6.20 is just crazy.
After the boot hard disk can be named /dev/hda or /dev/sda. There is no rule.
If I put /dev/hda to grub and it will boot as /dev/sda I will see kernel panic.
if I put /dev/sda - it can boot as /dev/hda - kernel panic again.
This is Arch current, with 2.6.20 kernel, on machines with IDE disks.
A tip: these machines had huge problems with ATA port is slow to respond on 2.6.19.
This task depends upon

let me guess you have an intel chipset, if yes its an old issue and please decide which interface you want to use.
enable ide, pata or sata in your HOOKS=
