restore systemu form /dev/hda to /dev/sda

I have restored system form backup (tar).
It is not a first time Im doing that - and it always works.

However this time I want to restore system which was working on device /dev/hda to a /dev/sda.
At the last stage of the procedure, I have mounted restoret root file system, and change root to it. Then change /dev/hda to /dev/sda in /etc/vfstab and /etc/lilo.conf.
When I executed "lilo" command I received this error:

Code:

fatal: raid_setup: stat("/dev/hda")

What did I forgot to do ? Is that possible to restore system like that ?
Kernel has support for both IDE and SATA devices. This is Slackware 12.2

Well... the answer is: block devices (these is /dev) need to be created/recreated. This way:

Code:

# mknod /dev/hda b 3 0

# mknod /dev/hda1 b 3 1
