Ah, interesting. I only just moved from the 2.4 kernels, so things are
quite different :)

The part that got me really confused was that the stock Slackware 13.0
kernel *did* have /dev/hdX devices. When I recompiled (from the same
sources, just trying to improve the configuration) that's when
everything switched to /dev/sdX ... and made it rather difficult to
boot, since lilo and fstab were referencing the hdX devices :)

But yes, this is certainly off-topic.
