Using ATA instead of IDE drivers does that.  This menu item:

menuconfig ATA
	tristate "Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers"

There is no 'option', this is hardcoded in drivers/scsi/sd.c.

sd.c:           sprintf(gd->disk_name, "sd%c", 'a' + index % 26);
sd.c:           sprintf(gd->disk_name, "sd%c%c",
sd.c:           sprintf(gd->disk_name, "sd%c%c%c",

And you should not be changing this in that place.

Well I prefer libata over oldide since the scsi stack is loaded anyway.

The old IDE layer (CONFIG_IDE) calls those ATA devices it recognizes
(most PATA, a few SATA) /dev/hd*, the newer Libata layer calls those it
handles (PATA/SATA) /dev/sd*. If you are using labels you can flip back
and forth quite easily.
