Yea the SATA modules are included in the initrd. Grub boots but i cannot get over to init. Well, its not important if LVM is there or not. Its the intel board with the singel core atom cpu. so 2 sata and one ide port. It looks like that the kernel cannot find the root device. One message i got is the swap cannot be enabled because no swap device was found.
That could be the drive order confusion I mentioned.
When you tell the PROM to boot from drive 1, for example, the PROM will go to drive 1's MBR and try to boot from there, but one grub is loaded and looking around for stage 2, it will see the drives in their actual physical order, not the PROM's boot order. You usually have to intervene when it displays what OS grub thinks it's going to boot and edit the boot hd to the right disk.
Or are you not getting that far?

I try'd in different order. Disconnect the IDE drive, change only the bootorder etc. Nothing, everytime the same message. Grub can boot it, its running into kernel and one line before init is running kernel panics. Seems like the kernel could not find the root device, the swap is afaik not necessary to boot. Tomorrow i try to clone it with acronis and resize the partition to the new drive. We will see if this is possible.
