Hi Maximilian,

Since some kernel 2.6.x SATA devices are part of the
SCSI layer. This can be configured back to the
IDE layer, AFAIK. See the kernel configuration and
build a new kernel.

But the SCSI layer works pretty well. If you need
to switch back to kernel 2.4.x sometimes, then I would
suggest to label the partitions of your harddisks
(see man tune2fs, option -L, or man reiserfstune, -l).
You could use something like

LABEL=root / ext2 defaults 0 1
LABEL=swap none swap sw 0 0
LABEL=home /home ext2 defaults 0 1

in your /etc/fstab, instead of /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1.

Regards

Harri
