I have several machines running Feisty, upgraded from Edgy. Since this was an intentional change why wouldn't all the machines exhibit the switch(from hd* -> sd*)?

Actually the reason I started looking into this bug was a problem the switch caused. My machine would hang at boot, due to a /dev/hd* entry in fstab for a secondary drive.

Why was this change implemented? Did the kernel change the preferred way to access IDE devices?
