For quite some time now IDE drives have been handled below the SCSI subsytem |
| 13 |
so you do in fact get a /dev/sda, except when using the old deprectaed IDE |
| 14 |
driver that has been around for ages. That one uses /dev/hda, and it's very |
| 15 |
unusual these days to find it. |

You should check what the kernek you are running is using and what udev calls |
| 18 |
those things as it very likely is not the same as what it was before your |
| 19 |
kernel & udev upgrade. |

I want to eliminate obvious things before we go looking for exotic things |
