(...) In brief, if I got it correctly, your Maxtor hard disk (IDE) is being detected as "/dev/hd*" in 2.6.36 (using legacy pata module) and as "/dev/ sd*" in 2.6.32 (using new libata module). Back to days I was using openSUSE, pata modules were loaded by telling the kernel "hwprobe=-modules.pata" at GRUB prompt (or by stating so in menu.lst). Maybe you are inadvertenly loading legacy pata module or you have compiled the kernel with that flag switched on :-? Compare both "lsmod | grep ata" outputs.
