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
Thats part of it to. the ata drivers are modules now and not
built into the
kernel. I probably missed something else also.
