New installs recognise IDE disks as /dev/sd, no problem.
On this box 10.1 --> 10.2 --> 10.3Alpha3plus via factory updates, my
disks come up as /dev/hd.
Changed /etc/fstab from /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2 to /dev/sda1 and
/dev/sda2, changed menu.lst likewise, but on reboot it can't see
/dev/sda1, eventually dropping into a shell prompt.
Did you run mkinitrd and change the kernel modules?
As of old rdev used to be able to change the root and swap devices to
whatever you wanted for a kernel. It now tells me that /dev/sda1
doesn't exist.
The pata_nv and libata modules are loaded.
Problem in initrd or grub????
I would do a full update (booting from Alpha CD) - in that case YaST
will do all changes itself for you,
Unless you have a separate /boot partition in which case the *upgrade*
will leave you with a system that will not boot. I have reported this in
bugzilla. This happened with the 10.3A2 and 10.3A3 upgrades.

Another thing I just thought about is "udev".
Sid are you sure there is a /dev/sda#?
Been there, done that, rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules and
85-mount-fstab.rules, look the same on the new build x86_64 boxes and
10.2 --> 10.3 Alpha3 upgrade x86_64 laptop and on this x86 box.
If I use mkinitrd to change rootdev to /dev/sda1, resume to /dev/sda2
and also fstab, sda1 is seen, but only if I leave menu.list pointing to
/dev/hda1 as root, sda2 as swap isn't registered. "swapon /dev/hda2" works.
When Alpha4 upgrade hits the streets, I'll see what that does.

Sid.
I don't know I did anything other than upgrading latest greatest from
factory. Modules still the same and it's OK. New kernel 2.6.21-git17
vanilla. I had the same problem with openSUSE kernels.
