Difference between ataraid in 2.4.17 and 2.4.19

Hello,
I just noticed something strange. I have a "stupid" Promise
controller embedded in my motherboard (MSI266R). I use it with 2 disks
as an RAID0 array.
However, I still keep my old disk, standalone, connected as a single
master to IDE0.
My old disk is seen as /dev/hda (in fact, it's /dev/ide/host0/etc...,
but it doesn't matter) and two disks from the array as hde and hdf.
However, when I upgraded lately to 2.4.19 (I used to use 2.4.17 before), this
was changed : the array disks are now hda and hdb and the standalone has
switched to hde... When I switch back to 2.4.17, everything is like before :
hda and hde & hdf.

Which behaviour is the correct one? Why was it changed and how can I force
2.4.19 kernel to behave like the old one (I need this disk to be hda)?
