Googling found the second alternative. The new sda names are for ALL hard

So there seems to be no way to keep the two variations, i.e. kernels using the
deprecated and the new PATA around. fstab must use the /dev/sda names and so
does the lilo (or grub) conf. Problem is that I cannot even try it.

You should use UUIDs or labels in /etc/fstab. The linux-base package
might help you with the conversion.

Not so pleasant. A kernel build option fixing this name business might be in
order.

Not really. Device names are not guaranteed to be stable anyway.
