you would need to setup modprobe.conf before you do your yum update make sure
it has the correct entry for the module for your pata controller.
Heuh? Isn't this about libata making /dev/hdx /dev/sdy, and thus that
you need to make sure that you're filesystems are mounted by label, and
then after reboot and you know which sdy is your old hdx, fixup
/etc/fstab for swap
