When I was looking into an anaconda LVM problem, I noticed that these
device classes are not going to work in the booty code, due to the way
it assumes how devices and partitions are named:

/dev/ataraid/d0p1
/dev/amiraid/ar0p1
/dev/cbd/[a-z]
/dev/emd/0p1
/dev/i2o/hda[a-z]
/dev/iseries/vda[a-f]
/dev/umem/d0p1
/dev/sx8/0p1

Are any of these devices involved in the problems with SATA or
pseudo-RAID?
