There is no downside, error or annoyance, it is just a well known
change.. did you read the release notes ?

+
+ libata for IDE Devices
+
+ libata uses /dev/sda for the first harddisk instead of /dev/hda.
+ Disks with more than 15 partitions are not handled automatically
+ right now. You can disable libata support by booting with the
+ following kernel parameter:
+
+ hwprobe=-modules.pata
+
+ Then you see all the partitions > 15 again and can access them
+ for installation.
