hd* vs sd* naming has nothing to do with the hardware but with the
IDE/ATA driver used for the disk adapter. Old IDE drivers use the IDE
naming hd*, even for SATA drives. Newer ATA drivers based on libata use
the SCSI naming sd* with both SATA and IDE drives.

Yes. 2.4 kernels are very old. I dropped them a long time ago even for
machines older than a Pentium 4. You should at least try a 2.6 kernel
with libata drivers. I think that IDE drivers have not been actively
maintained for a while.
