Hi! I'm sure this is an already answered question, but the problem is that I don't know which could be the question whose answer I'm in need of:) After this prologue, the problem is: The currently running system, with the Arch-supplied 2.6.24 kernel, has the disk devices all mapped to a /dev/sd* scheme, even if 3 are IDE and another is SATA. When I compile myself the kernel, I get the "traditional" /dev/hd* scheme, which is in contrast with the content of /etc/fstab. The main question is: how can I obtain the "right" behaviour from my own compiled kernel? Is this due to some misconfiguration of the kernel at compile-time, or is it obtained through some other kind of magic? The real problem here is that I cannot give a name to this problem, hence being unable to search for it!:) I've always used a Slack system with traditional disk mapping, it's the first time I come across this problem:) Thanks in advance!
