New installs recognise IDE disks as /dev/sd, no problem.
On this box 10.1 --> 10.2 --> 10.3Alpha3plus via factory updates, my

Changed /etc/fstab from /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2 to /dev/sda1 and
/dev/sda2, changed menu.lst likewise, but on reboot it can't see
/dev/sda1, eventually dropping into a shell prompt.
Did you run mkinitrd and change the kernel modules?
As of old rdev used to be able to change the root and swap devices to
whatever you wanted for a kernel. It now tells me that /dev/sda1
doesn't exist.
The pata_nv and libata modules are loaded.
Problem in initrd or grub????
I would do a full update (booting from Alpha CD) - in that case YaST
will do all changes itself for you,
Unless you have a separate /boot partition in which case the *upgrade*
will leave you with a system that will not boot. I have reported this in
bugzilla. This happened with the 10.3A2 and 10.3A3 upgrades.

I don't have a separate /boot partition, so my upgrades have gone OK.
The problem could have been with my INITRD script which I've changed
from /dev/hda1 to /dev/sda1, a reboot later will be tried.

Sid.
