I'm pretty sure this is wrong. My understanding is that in earlier kernels sata devices were recognized as IDE devices, post 2.6.7 they were recognized as SCSI devices. so regardless of whether cabling has altered or not the fstab entries will be wrong and need to be modified. on my system for example the first sata disk was /dev/hde and the root partition /dev/hde1 this needed to be changed to /dev/sda1.I was meaning IDE drives not SATA drives. IDE drives are referred the same way in
any 2.6.x kernel which is correct.
fortunately i use grub and usually leave the old kernels listed in menu.lst, so it was simply a matter of booting into a 2.6.5, altering fstab and rebooting into 2.6.8.
