[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.
