I have an ASUS A7V motherboard with a pair of ATA66 IDE controllers
and also a Promise ATA100 (20265) pair of ATA100 controllers.
I have an ATA100 disk which has been running on the ATA66 controller
as hdb. I moved it onto the ATA100 controller as an experiment;
linux spotted it as hde, but
When I switched my single drive over to the A7V's Promise controller, it
was moved from hda to hde. All I had to do was boot with root=/dev/hde1
(or wherever my root partition was, this was the most frustration as I
didn't write them down first!) and fix my inittab for everything to work..
