It's easier with just the appropriate info, e.g.:
menuentry "GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.37-lfs-6.8" --class gnu-linux
--class gnu --class os {
insmod ext2
set root=/dev/hda2
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set a22d0a41-a05a-4005-8341-cf681d891651
echo Loading Linux 2.6.37-lfs-6.8 ...
linux /boot/vmlinux-2.6.37-lfs-6.8 root=/dev/hda2 ro
}

We don't need to see ethernet, vga, or usb stuff for booting.

Well it does look like you have both a SATA and PATA controller, so hda
may be appropriate. The next step is"
mount| grep hda
Also check your kernel configuration:
Symbol: PATA_VIA [=n]
Type : tristate
Prompt: VIA PATA support
Defined at drivers/ata/Kconfig:679
Depends on: ATA [=y] && ATA_SFF [=y] && ATA_BMDMA [=y] && PCI [=y]
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers (ATA [=y])
-> ATA SFF support (ATA_SFF [=y])
-> ATA BMDMA support (ATA_BMDMA [=y])
Make sure PATA_VIA is enabled and not as a module.
