Hi Maximilian,
Since some kernel 2.6.x SATA devices are part of the SCSI layer. This can be configured back to the IDE layer, AFAIK. See the kernel configuration and build a new kernel.
But the SCSI layer works pretty well. If you need to switch back to kernel 2.4.x sometimes, then I would suggest to label the partitions of your harddisks (see man tune2fs, option -L, or man reiserfstune, -l). You could use something like
LABEL=root / ext2 defaults 0 1 LABEL=swap none swap sw 0 0 LABEL=home /home ext2 defaults 0 1
in your /etc/fstab, instead of /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1.
Regards
Harri
