Other way around. Traditionally, 'hd' was for IDE and 'sd' was for SCSI, though under a modern kernel, pretty much everything should be using 'sd'. That includes USB devices, SATA, and these days, most IDE drives too. If your LFS kernel is using 'hd' but Fedora uses 'sd', you're probably *not* using the same drivers. You're using the older one (under the ATA/IDE section in the kernel configuration), and they're using the newer one (under SATA/PATA), or something like that). Both may work, but the former are considered obsolete. Simon.
