Hello,
I still don't have any authoritative kernel links, but this is a good
summary that I found
"the IDE subsystem in the linux kernel has been functionally replaced by
the PATA subsystem which uses just that naming convention (sdX instead
of hdX). IDE is still included in the linux kernel, but is considered
legacy. However, some distributions still default to IDE."
I'm pretty sure that SL5 is going to continue to use hda instead of
switch to everything being sda, but I bet that SL6 will be all sda.
I know that Fedora 10 Beta uses the sda only, as does the beta of Ubuntu
that is currently out.
ubuntu's been using sda etc for quite some time, a year and more I think.
I've just updated an old Tosh Sat from FC5 to f9 and it's gone to some
seriously arcane names in /etc/fstab (one can't blindly copy disks any
more, there's surgery to be done afterwards) and I'm _sure_ it also is
using sda.
