Hi if have installed the 11.1 B4 from DVD yesterday.
My notebook has an internal IDE harddisk. In 11.0 it was recognized as sda.
In 11.1 Beta 4 it is recognized as hda (like in old days)
Is this intentional or is it a bug?

Looks to me like a bug - please report it in bugzilla.

On another maschine i tried to install it and it recognized the USB stick as
sda and the internal harddrive as sdb. I cant think of any reason why this
should be intentional.

That's why we use the device by ID method to identify the drives.

This can indeed happen ;-(
