It appears that the *intent* with Gutsy was to switch the drives over to
/dev/sd* completely.  That did not happen for SiS 5513 IDE controllers.

According to my personal experience, these changes allowed me to use the
stock Ubuntu kernels:

Feisty: No changes from previous installs.  Feisty kernels were working
fine with SiS 5513.

Gutsy: Some report fresh install with Gutsy works fine.  An upgrade is
another matter.  Change the /etc/fstab file for the / (root) partition
only to /dev/sd* instead of /dev/hd*.

Hardy: Change the /etc/fstab file for all partitions to use /dev/sd*
instead of /dev/hd*.  Also, if you specify the boot directory by /dev
(instead of UUID) in /boot/grub/menu.lst, change to /dev/sd* there also.

These kind of changes need to be noted in the distribution notes for
upgrading.

Cheers!
