I haven't really followed this thread, but noticed the use of
/dev/hda.  That naming convention is indicative of the drivers/ide
kernel component being in use.

I guess you know /drivers/ide has been in a bug-fix only mode for a
couple years now I think.  Even in 2.6.34 days it was primarily only
recommended for embedded applications where kernel size was very
important.  (ie. The newer libata solution is layered under the SCSI
stack, so you end up with a bigger kernel due to all the SCSI overhead
required.)
