Although I suspect that there's something profoundly wrong with your system: Did you try to create the missing devices with mknod inside the chroot environment?
You'll need to make /dev/hde and device files for all the partitions you created, i.e. /dev/hde1, /dev/hde2 and so on.
It might be interesting to compare whether anything else is missing. "mc" is very handy for comparing directory listings. Open two panels on both directories, type "Ctrl-X D" and choose "quick" to discover files missing in one of the directories. |

While the thought of a hardware problem is one way to describe what's happening, it makes no sense that the hardware is available prior to chroot... It has to be there in order for chroot to even work.
As for mknod, I found this page to be useful:

I tried:
And now hde is there. I'll continue and see if grub works. |
