Per the release notes, openSuse now tags all drives with s instead of h.
Why?  I don't know, perhaps someone else can enlighten us.  But
your /dev/sda is working as expected.
We use the new libata stack now which uses the SCSI numbering.  The
libata stack has deprecated the old ide stack - and we use the newer,
better maintained one now,
