Kernel upgrade: /dev/hd* changed back to /dev/sd*, why?

[Adam Funk]

I just upgraded (in Feisty) linux-image-2.6.20-16-generic
(2.6.20-16.28) to 2.6.20-16.29, and on reboot my hard drives changed
from /dev/hda and hdb to /dev/sda and sdb.  At some point in the
recent past, they had changed from sda and sdb to hda and hdb, and for
no apparent reason they've changed back?  Why?


Also, those annoying characters in hddtemp that I can't get logcheck
to ignore have come back!
