Hi folks,
It happens with IDE disks under sparc linux in rescue mode. I agree,
its
annoying. I think the Linux kernel seems to be going in the wrong
direction...
I keep hoping OSF/1 will get opensourced like Motif and DCE. I
actually
just spoke with TOG about it--said they'd ask the lawyers, so keep
fingers crossed. But I'd probably also jump at a distribution with
GNU
commands and libs based on OpenSolaris kernel, but the CDDL doesn't
quite allow repackaging...sigh.

It seems to be specific to SATA. When I boot the RHEL4 CD on a
system with
regular ATA disks, they appear as hdX.
It seems foolish for rescue mode, as there are features of ATA that
cannot
be used through SCSI (such as SMART) that are useful in working
with broken
systems.
