Hey Peter: I got a SATA_SIL 3112 adapter and for whatever reason the HD connected to it is being picked up as hda with the 2.4.25 kernel. 2.6 kernel correctly recognizes it as sda (which I want). I have heard that newer versions of 2.4 kernel has this fix too, I tried building it but the node always hang when it boots off the SIS kernel. I guess I'll keep trying...
