There is the different in the name convention (sdX in Ubuntu and hdX in CRUX). Is there anything I should be aware before starting migration?

I did as suggested, but it lead to small problem. I cannot boot the new kernel.
The lilo doesn't understand line "root=/dev/sdb1" when run from system with the old kernel.
So i tried using uuid. It also didn't help.
image=/boot/vmlinuz label=CRUX root=/dev/hdb1 append="root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/6274b1e0-f026-496c-af64-d0d19b39607a" read-only # append="quiet"
I thought about grub, but because of some reason (I guess BIOS problem, as it takes ages to start the box) it didn't want to install into the MBR.
Do you have any suggestion how move to the kernel with "SATA only support"?

You will want to use in lilo.conf lba32 install=text boot=/dev/sdb append="quiet" default=crux image=/boot/vmlinuz label=crux root=/dev/sdb1 read-only Then to install the boot loader while your in old system: lilo -M /dev/sdb As after rebooting to to use new libata the node will be sdb instead of hdb, else you'll have a hard time trying to get it to find hdb when it's listed as sdb.
