Libata in Debian GNU/Linux Lenny



Hi all!

I'm using Debian GNU/Linux Lenny with linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 stock
kernel installed from a binary image from Debian repositories.

In this case the disks are seen like hdX but using kernel 2.6.31.2
compiled by myself with the sources of kernel.org the disks are seen
like sdX. I consider that this difference is because with 2.6.31.2
libata is being used whereas in 2.6.26 it is disabled. Is it possible?

Reviewing the compilation options of the stock kernel and comparing them
with those of kernel 2.6.31.2 I see that the following options are the
same in both cases:

CONFIG_ATA=m
CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=m
CONFIG_ATA_GENERIC=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=m
CONFIG_IDE=m

Is there some other compilation option that makes the difference?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Regards,
Daniel
