No, to my knowledge, that's the proper behavior. The disparity between the |
| 14 |
LiveCD and actual installs is...a little unfortunate. But anyway, movement |
| 15 |
to more widespread use of libata has renamed all /dev/hd* to /dev/sd* |
| 16 |
equivalents. It should not impact you in any significant way. See |
| 17 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kernel-config.xml#doc_chap3 for a little more |
| 18 |
information. As far as making it work, really, just change /dev/hd* to |
| 19 |
/dev/sd* in your /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.conf (or whatever the LILO |
| 20 |
equivalent is) and you should be fine. |
