[Bug 53208] Re: [EGDY] Regression from 2.6.17-2 to 2.6.17-5

You haven't changed anything, but the driver used to access your hard
drive has probably changed from ide to lib-ata. This changes the
identifier for the drive. My pata hard drive formally found at /dev/hda
is now /dev/sda. If possible check the dmesg output to see how the drive
is being discovered. (I had to boot in text mode, not splash to see it.)

Automatic translation to use UUIDs should have taken place for
/boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab when you upgraded.
