It seems there is one major downside to all the disks being "called" scsi devices in 10.3.
There is no downside, error or annoyance, it is just a well known change.. did you read the release notes ?

I'm sorry Cristian, but there is a downside, and a big annoyance. By being limited in the partitions available. Especially with the huge drives that are available today, That is a very big downside. Not only that, when I installed 10.3, it renamed my other two IDE drives, and changed their order. Really !!! Why ?
I know, I know !! There was a big discussion on this list about that awhile back. We patiently await fixing the partition limitation. Soon? I hope ?
If you need lots of partitions (/dev/hdx naming) use the workaround from the release notes. I seriously doubt 10.3 will ever support increased partitions for /dev/sdx devices. I have read nothing on the kernel ata list that shows anyone is even working on it yet. Of course Novell could be doing so on their own, but I would be very surprised.
