Well... this has nothing to do with the LiveCD. This is a misconfiguration issue on the installer's part. The difference is because of udev versus devfs and really has nothing to do with 2.4 or 2.6 other than the fact that 2.4 cannot use udev. Honestly, this is a WONTFIX as far as the LiveCD is concerned. We are moving 2.6 and have no plans on turning back. On the other hand, this should be documented in the Handbook so that others do not run into the same problems with devfs using non-standard device namings from udev or non-dynamic /dev systems. Just to let you know, the 2.4 kernel uses /dev/ida/* also, it is devfs which uses the /dev/ida/disc0/* junk. Also, in your notes, you can always do the following: mount -o remount,rw / to edit files on your root partition, so there's no need to reboot to the LiveCD. Anyway, I am reassigning this to the docs team. Besides the cpqarray stuff, there is also carmel, and cssis that are different between udev/non-dynamic and devfs. We already have this in the udev guide. Since Gentoo currently does not use udev by default, I see no reason to include this in the handbook as well - users should be checking out the udev guide.
