hi, on redhat 5.x and fedora 6 there are hdX and sdX while from fedora 7 (and probably from redhat 6.x) there will be only sdX. is it possible with the latest redhat kernel-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 to use the same libata driver to handle all disk (ie. both pata and sata) so we've only sdX disk devices like it's the current setup on newer fedora release. we try to disable ide0=noprobe etc. which really disable hdX but even if the kernel load the libata and ata_piix driver it's still not load these disks. thanks in advance.
