That actually looks like the error you get when file system support is not compiled into the kernel. I would first make sure that you have SATA support compiled into the kernel ( compile din not modules) then make sure you have all the correct filesystem types compiled in. ( again not modules) If you do have the correct paramaters compiled in I would say try a second kernel maybe even the genkernel.
