Don't forget your old ata drives are now named /dev/sd[a-z] so rewrite your grub entries. Do the systems have a mix of pata and sata drives? I had this problem when I updated from ata->pata. My /dev/hda drive was being mounted as /dev/sda and thus moving all the sata /dev/sd[a-z] drives up one slot. Which caused partitions to be mounted, or fail from the wrong drive. The other problem I had was that my sd[a-z] drives are numbered depending on their order in the grub device.map file, which had been shuffled around somehow. I ended up going into grub menu edit and rewriting the kernel line to reflect the new naming scheme and then once I'd booted into single user mode, with no other partitions mounted, editing fstab to reflect the new drive scheme.
