This may have been mentioned already somewhere in the thread earlier, |
| 6 |
but aside from the changes to udev, recent versions of the kernel have |
| 7 |
also switched from the former behavior of just using Sata drivers for |
| 8 |
real Sata drives and still providing the old ATA drivers for Pata, to |
| 9 |
prefering Sata drivers for everything, even drives with Pata interfaces |
| 10 |
(including DVD drives). The old Pata driver tree is still in the |
| 11 |
kernel, but is now completely deprecated for just about everything now. |

|
| 13 |
So the switch from /dev/hd* to /dev/sd* for such devices isn't just |
| 14 |
cosmetic -- everything is now being handled by libata (which is the Sata |
| 15 |
drivers), and if you have any Pata device drivers in your kernel config, |
| 16 |
you'll want to get rid of those and replace them with equivalent drivers |
| 17 |
from the Sata section of the kernel. |

Not doing this will cause very strange behavior with regard to DVD |
| 20 |
drives in udev and hal, especially if you use Gnome. |
