I used dist-upgrade from edgy->feisty. After I edited /etc/fstab
manually and replaced /dev/hda* with UUID, the system boots and mounts
disks - but there are still no /dev/hda* devices so this breaks hdparm
and other things.

On my host I have the following HDDs: /dev/hda, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.

Comparing 'fdisk -l' output on the same host booted single-user mode
with 2.6.20-13 and 2.6.20-14 shows that with 2.6.20-14 /dev/hda ->
/dev/sdc:
