Hello!

After upgrading from 2.5.67-bk9 to 2.5.68-bk1 I have found that the devfs
names for IDE disks have changed. Instead of the traditional
2.4-compatible /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1, /dev/hda1 has now
become /dev/hda/disc0/part1.

What's really weird is that /dev/hda is now a directory. That's going to
break a lot of software!

CD-ROM is still under /dev/ide: /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd I hope
that the change was unintentional and will be reverted. I don't see it
mentioned in the changelog.

.config is attached.
