[ltp] A Fast /dev/sda is now a slow /dev/hda after later Fedora Kernel Upgrade

[Gurunandan R. Bhat]

Hi All,

All these months my HDD on R-52 used  to show up as /dev/sda (probably 
something related to SATA which I never really understood) - upto 
kernel-2.6.12-1.1456_FC4. After I upgraded to kernel-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 
the same device now shows up as /dev/hda.

What is worrisome is that it has begun to thrash at the slightest large 
read (indexing my 1 GB mail folder for example). Reverting back to the 
older version solved the problem but I am worried. Could some one help 
me with this please.

Regards and thanks
