Simply remaking the initrd after you clone should solve this - mkinitrd
has the logic to autoprobe the root filesystem, and should catch any
changes even if you don't edit modprobe.conf.
yes this works fine its the same for sata now.
when I changed my laptop to ahci mode in the bios it failed to boot
because there was no ahci module in initrd. I booted into rescue mode
and regenerated the initrd and the system booted fine afterwards.
