the drive on which I keep my root filesystem has changed its name from /dev/hda to /dev/sda. Is this expectable behavior? Should I edit my "root" boot option and fstab accordingly? Or does it indicate something wrong?
No it is possible...it might be as simple as some storage driver was using a legacy ATA emulation fallback to access SATA drives and is now in native mode.
If you are going to have to edit the boot options and fstab anyway why not move over to UUID's ?
