Did you read my announcement at all?

Call for Testing
================

* libata for IDE devices

   We're using the libata stack now also for IDE controllers.  Please
   do test that an update works and all files are changed
   automatically (libata uses /dev/sda for the first harddisk instead
   of /dev/hda).  Disks with more than 15 partitions are not handled
   right now, we're still evaluating whether there is a good solution.
   to use the old scheme, boot with "hwprobe=-modules.pata".
