The fix above is a move from the AMD and VIA drivers to newer PATA ones. When I moved to the new kernel yesterday my computer would no longer boot. I found that the reason was that the PATA drivers renamed my drives from /dev/hd? to /dev/sd? with my partitions similarly renamed.
Now I have my own grub menu with the old name listed as root, so the system hung. That's my responsibility and I deserve no sympathy. That's why I haven't posted a bug report for the hang. It does suggest a couple of rhetorical questions, however-- 1. Will the migration to the new drivers through live-cd installations and through upgrades take care of the necessary changes to boot-loaders and /etc/fstab? I assume the mounts by volumeid in /etc/fstab will mitigate potential /etc/fstab problems if it can be assumed they have all been converted. Maybe there is some other conversion mechanisms I don't know about, too. 2. For busybodies like me should there be mention of the change in the release notes? Like I said, they are rhetorical questions I bring up since the release is in beta. I'd bet they've already been considered carefully but I thought I might bring them up just in case.
