Ok, I got it to boot.  The problem is, adding libata.ignore_hpa=0 to the
kernel command line didn't set the parameter, because the libata module
is loaded by udev from the initrd.  I was able to see that by going into
/sys/module/libata/parameters... ignore_hpa was still 1.


So what I did is added a /bin/sh to the beginning of
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/udev before udev was
run.  Then during the first shell, I ran

# modprobe libata ignore_hpa=0
# exit

<then udev ran>

# cd /sys/module/libata/parameters
# cat ignore_hpa
0
# exit

<boot up went fine>

So somehow I need to modify the udev in initrd to pass that option.
