[PLUG] power hit... am I screwed?

What it looks like to me is that whatever boot floppy or kernel you are
using to boot with does NOT have the ata-100 driver (promise?)
installed. I've gone through the exact same issues, and what saved my
bacon was finding a boot floppy image with the drivers I needed.
I'm not sure if the images that Jeme pointed you to have those - I
haven't created a 'current' set of boot floppies in a while - but I'm
sure the RH7.3 disks have an image you could use at the very least.
I would try that before giving up the ghost and reinstalling with new
hardware.
