I think eventually you would have run into this problem even if you hadn't
switched to using suspend2-sources. Recent changes in the kernel (at 2.6.21
unless my memory fails me) removed the need for most SATA drivers to use the
SCSI layer of the kernel. The result being that many hard drives that were
previously addressed as /dev/sda will now be available at /dev/hda.
You'll need to change at least /boot/grub/grub.conf and /etc/fstab to reflect
this . Yes, it's a pest because it complicates booting into older kernels.
You may not know that GRUB supports editing the boot parameters with the 'E'
key, which goes a long way towards easing the pains.
I think its preferable to get the SATA driver to handle the device if
you can. I know on my machine disk performance dropped quite a bit when
it was probed as hda by the ATA driver.
