libata for IDE Devices
libata uses /dev/sda for the first harddisk instead of /dev/hda. Disks
with more than 15 partitions are not handled automatically right now.
You can disable libata support by booting with the following kernel

hwprobe=-modules.pata

Then you see all the partitions > 15 again and can access them for
