I believe there is Serial ATA support for some chipsets in 5.1. No idea on the Fasttrack 378. Problems are likely to occur when your kernel doesn't match your userland. I'm guessing your initial install was 4.5, and you updated directly to 4.8? I would recommend that you try to boot with a 4.8 GENERIC kernel, off a 4.8 CD or floppy. Then try mounting your partitions manually from single user mode, and editing /etc/fstab to match your drive configuration.
