SATA disks should always be seen as SCSI, not IDE. Did you misspeak?

Didn't this change between some 2.6 kernel versions from hd* to sd*?
Maybe there were even both old and new SATA drivers available in some?
I remember being irritated when I found that, whoops, I quickly had to
change my bootloader config and fstab and whatever or suddenly a kernel
upgrade meant I couldn't boot anymore!
