I had a similar surprise: ata_piix was selected instead of piix, resulting in /dev/sda instead of /dev/hda.
Note that the kernel people are pushing towards libata for all ATA devices, so the future (say, 10.3) will be sd*/sr* instead of hd*.
Beta1 did select ata_piix accidentally, though, and it will be gone in beta2 (already gone in FACTORY).
For those who can't wait until 10.3, there's the boot option 'hwprobe=[+-]modules.pata' that switches over to libata completely (resp. not).
is there a possible way to have sd? + hd? . In the moment it breaks my drive structure :(.
Short of having udev duplicate the device nodes, no. You can of course switch to mount by label/uuid and get rid of the 'classical' device names. Which is, I believe, more or less the targeted long-term solution. Note that the names are not the real problem with this step but that sd* allows for less partitions per device than hd*. Steffen
