Hi there,

I've been updating an Toshiba Tecra today (2005-2006 laptop), and I noticed 
that since that between the kernel version 2.6.32 and the kernel versions 
3.2.0 and 3.11 there is a quite meaningful difference;

When using the linux kernel (linux-image-486) 3.2.0 or 3.11 version, the 
system doesn't start and complains about not finding the /dev/hda2 (which is my 
root system partition). The fact is that there is no hda2, but only sda[1-5] 
there.
The system then prompts me to give a location, and starts when I give 
'/dev/sda2' but only to fail later on as many other scripts complain about not 
finding hda2 as well.

This is currently functionning correctly when using the kernel 2.6.32 as there 
are hdaX nodes there.
Is this a bug? And if it isn't, how can I translate those nodes correctly when 
booting the new kernels?

Best regards,

This is not a kernel bug.  You should not refer to /dev/hda in any
configuration files.  You should be able to fix most of these
configuration files automatically by booting into the old kernel,
running 'dpkg-reconfigure linux-base' and answering 'yes' twice.
