In most simple words - when you compile your kernel, exclude 'ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support' completely.
Make sure 'SCSI device support' is in sane condition, and select whatever you need from 'Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA.....'.
Aaaah ok that did the trick:) Now I understand what's going on!:) Now I've got /dev/sd* for all the devices. But there's an inconsistence between the ordering of the names. With the stock Arch kernel, I have: /dev/sda = primary IDE disk /dev/sdb = secondary IDE disk /dev/sdc = the only SATA disk I have With my kernel, I got: /dev/sda = the SATA disk /dev/sdb = primary IDE disk /dev/sdc = secondary IDE disk I've read, on the Arch wiki, the pages about consistent naming, but as far as I can tell, there's no track of it in my running system. I mean, in /etc/fstab the drives are mounted by device name, not by-label or id or uuid. So I infer there's another reason for this, and maybe it has to do with the stock initramfs loading the modules in a certain order. I'm not using an initramfs and no modules for scsi,sata etc, so, if that's the reason, I deduce I have to live with the different naming. But thit is based on a supposition: is it right?:) Thanks also to Geir and Ryan for pointing me at the right direction:) ciao!
