You can at least try to prepare a new initrd (name it differently and
create a different entry in grub.conf) with mkinitrd.
mkinitrd has a nice feature called --with=module so you can try to
mkinitrd --with=sata_via to include this module even if not 'already'
specified in /etc/modprobe.conf (don't forget also to change this after
the machine has correctly booted : 'alias scsi_hostadapter=')
I've never tested such hdd migration but it should work ...
