Is it possible that the changed device numbering is the reason for
your problems?
Excerpt from http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/1973:

 kernel 2.4 (don't recognize sata devices)
 hda -> ide 0,0
 hdb -> ide 0,1
 hdc -> ide 1,0
 hdd -> ide 1,1
 in lilo.conf root=/dev/hda5 SYSTEM OK !!!
 
 kernel 2.6 (recognize new hardware but keep it before the existing devices as 
ide ones)
 hda -> sata 0,0 !!!
 hdb -> sata 0,1 !!!
 hdc -> sata 1,0 !!!
 hdd -> sata 1,1 !!!
 hde -> ide 0,0 (ex hda)
 hdf -> ide 0,1
 hdg -> ide 1,0
 hdh -> ide 1,1
 in lilo.conf root=/dev/hda5 then i optain the same your error 6.....

I had the effect, that my P-ATA rootdisk changed its name from
/dev/hda to /dev/hde in the change from 2.4 to 2.6.
Maybe you have to go in the opposite direction with your S-ATA drive.
