No Darko, it is not to do with uuid in the fstab.

For the record, the fstab does use UUID to identify the disks.

Please read more carefully. You will see that I have stated, that fdisk
-l does not report all my disks. Furhermore you will see that I have
included output from lshw. If you would kindly take the time to examine
the output of lshw from Dapper and Hardy installs, you will see that a
disk is missing from the Hardy install that is present in the Dapper
install. Note that this output was taken from my current hardware
configuration. As I have stated above, Dapper is installed in the second
partition on the master of the primary controller. Hardy is installed on
the first partition on the master of the primary controller.

Furthermore please note that when attempting to install Hardy in a disk
on the seconday IDE controller, the install fails because it fails in
the kernel to identify all my drives. I suspect the reason for the file
not found message I stated above, was that it installed on the disk on
the secondary controller, but then on reboot, the disk was no longer
visible.

It does not appear to me to be a configuration issue, but rather a
kernel issue. Why? As I stated above, the problem also exists in Fedora
Core 8, also by booting Hardy but with the Gutsy kernel, all disks are
identified properly. Simply changing the kernel and only the kernel to
an earlier kernel, the system is fully operational with all disks
correctly identified in fdisk -l.

Point taken regarding use of sda in place of hda. I was not aware of
this change. It would seem there are bugs in this change over.

Configurations that failed for me in Hardy:

1) Two drives, with one as master on the primary controller, and one as
master on the secondary controller. Only one drive shows up in fdisk -l

2) Three drives, with two on the primary controller and the other as
master on the secondary. Only two drives show up.

3) Three drives, with two on the secondary controller and the other as
master on the primary. Only two drives show up.

At the moment, I am running Hardy with two drives on the primary
controller, with both drives accessible, and the third as master on the
secondary controller, and is not visible in fdisk -l.
