IDE hard drives showing up as scsi w/ 2.6.24-19-generic

[bkreulen]

Hello all,

Just upgraded to 8.04 from Gutsy and found it installed two kernels, 2.6.22 and 2.6.24, both the generic versions. I booted into the 24 kernel and all hell broke loose. It couldn't find any partitions and dumped me to a maintenance prompt.

I rebooted and tried 22, and everything seemed to work fine. After checking /var/log/messages for the differences, it seems that 2.6.24 was making my hard drives (EIDE) available as sda and sdb, where they've always been hda and hdb. The reason it didn't boot was because of some manual changes I made to /etc/fstab. I had taken out the UUIDs in favor of /dev/hdX. When I put the UUIDs back in, everything seemed to work just fine for the 24 kernel.

My question is, why is 2.6.24 treating everything as scsi, and should I be worried about this? I hadn't heard anything about this, and a google search doesn't give me anything.

Thanks for any help!

P.S. Here's the messages logs for the both of them:

and should I be worried about this?

If you have scripts that are pointing to the hdx. I did have this problem with ide DVD device : Topic: Multimedia Problem: Maybe you don't have enough rights...(e.g: no disc in drive)
