Trouble is USB is SCSI over a different cable, ATAPI is SCSI over an ATA
cable, SATA is PATA over a different wire and often you can't tell one
from the other (or people use PATA/SATA bridges)...

If your rootfs is labelled rather than /dev/hd* it should all just work,
and it should certainly load the ata_piix module into the initrd. 

Can you send me an lspci -vvxxx of the system.
