+I have a smimilar problem with all boxes with IDE drives. Up to kernels
+3.0.x, thay just worked with ata-piix, and drives were named as sdx.
+With kernel 3.1.x, they get driven by old IDE driver, and named as hdX.
+Don't know which is the reason.
+Looking at that modules.order, they look the same for both kernels.
+IDE drivers are listed first in modules.order.
+
+I have two equal boxes, in one of them I re-made initrds with --preload=ata-piix.
+Then it boots as before, sdX drives.
+In the 'good' box, lsinitrd | grep ata gives:
+
+bran:/boot# lsinitrd initrd-3.1.0-desktop-0.rc10.1.mga2.img | grep ata

+echo &quot;Loading ata_generic module&quot;
+modprobe -q ata_generic
+echo &quot;Loading ata_piix module&quot;
+modprobe -q ata_piix

+
+In the 'bad' one:
+
+lugh:/boot# lsinitrd initrd-3.1.0-desktop-0.rc10.1.mga2.img | grep ata
+-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 99345 Oct 18 07:31 lib/modules/3.1.0-desktop-0.rc10.1.mga2/libata.ko.gz

+echo &quot;Loading libata module&quot;

+echo &quot;Loading ata_generic module&quot;
+modprobe -q ata_generic
+echo &quot;Loading pata_acpi module&quot;
+modprobe -q pata_acpi
+echo &quot;Loading ata_piix module&quot;
+modprobe -q ata_piix
+
+So for some reason ata-generic is put before SATA (reverse order from modules.order ???),
+and probably it pulls ATA piix.ko module on harware detection.
+Should not ata-piix be tried before, and use ata-generic for whatever remains without
+a responsible driver ?
+I think the initrd generation is putting the load of specific drivers _after_ the generic ones.
