I updated from 2.6.24 to 2.6.27 (From Hardy to Intrepid) and my drives changed from hd* to sd*.
Since that change, all drives are very slow (HDD and DVD). For burning a 2Gb disk it took about an hour!
I have read many forums and I have tried several setups, specially with kernel options and in
 /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
I also followed "alih" recommendation without any success:

BEFORE:

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads: 858 MB in 2.00 seconds = 428.97 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 3.02 seconds = 21.19 MB/sec

AFTER:

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads: 646 MB in 2.00 seconds = 322.90 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 3.03 seconds = 21.12 MB/sec

Is there any way to change my drives to be hd* again?

Thank you
