Not true, I'm using /dev/hd for all my PATA HD and DVD drives and /dev/sd for the SATA HDs. Systems are ~amd64. At the time /dev/sr was introduced I tried it and had problems on the DVD burner (I don't recall which ones, maybe just related to the missing /dev/dvd link) so I decided to stick with the old driver. Is there any advantage to switch to the SATA driver also for PATA drives? raffaele
