Failed to open inode

I've been using ntfs-3g for a while, now, without any hoes. But recently, i had problems with one of my disks and changed how they are all plugged in my box... A disk that was correctly handled before doesn't seem to work anymore.

Below is a copy-paste of three things:
The error message (with the command issued), then a "head" command, where you can see the "NTFS" disk header, and finally, a "version" command.

Code:

www / # ntfs-3g /dev/hde1 /mnt/stor8
Failed to open inode: No such file or directory
Failed to mount '/dev/hde1': No such file or directory
www / # head /dev/hde1
[color=darkred](output removed because it makes a bug in mysql on ntfs-3g server)[/color]
www / # ntfs-3g --version
ntfs-3g: Unknown option '--version'.

(most parts have been deleted in "head" output because it causes a bug in mysql on this server)
Now here's a few things you might need to know.
- All this happends on a Linux Gentoo box, with a 2.6.22 kernel.
- i have other NTFS disks on the same machine which are supported correctly
- the "e" tells you it's not a classic setup. I actually have 6 hdd in this machine. hde and hdf are plugged onto a "Silicon Image, Inc. PCI0680 Ultra ATA-133 Host Controller"
- hdf mounts correctly, but is vfat.
- i didn't clearly check wether that hard disk has worked previously or not, but i *think* i remember it worked when it was on /dev/hdd. I fiddled a bit on my disks recently after having burnt one 300 gigs disk, changing them of place. Don't ever plug a hard disk's molex in when the computer is running ;D

There is another error that came up but i consider it irrelevant. See below

Code:

www / # ntfs-3g /dev/hde2 /mnt/stor8
Error opening partition device: No such device or address
Failed to startup volume: No such device or address
Failed to mount '/dev/hde2': No such device or address
You seem to have a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware and must use an activated,
different device under /dev/mapper/, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1)
to mount NTFS. Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for help.

i don't have a /dev/mapper/ nor anything named dmraid

Thanks in advance for your help...

Oh, and before anyone suggests, "you should just put that disk back onto /dev/hdd", because if hdf works with vfat, there's nothing to "force" me to move it...
