For quite some time now IDE drives have been handled below the SCSI subsytem so you do in fact get a /dev/sda, except when using the old deprectaed IDE driver that has been around for ages. That one uses /dev/hda, and it's very unusual these days to find it. You should check what the kernek you are running is using and what udev calls those things as it very likely is not the same as what it was before your kernel & udev upgrade.
