Hi John,

I noticed the same thing, but like Paul it hasn't been an issue for
me.  Did some digging around though and came up with this archived
thread on UbuntuForums

http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-518221.html

In particular, this post seems enlightening:

"August 6th, 2007, 03:05 AM
Kernel deveolpers recently found out that the SATA/SCSI driver also
handles PATA drives (these are the ones often called IDE drives!)
better than the original PATA driver dir. So they started using SATA
drivers with all drives.

That should not cause any problems, the only difference is that drives
are named as sd* instead of hd*. As long as you use UUID's in fstab
you shouldn't normally even notice anything."

HTH.
