boot problem after installation - device names changed
my system is QNAP TS-409, which is armed platform
I have 3 disks and 2 partitions on each
When I start Debian Lenny installer based on instruction from
http://www.cyrius.com/debian/orion/qnap/ts-409/install.html my disks are
assigned to /dev/sd{a,b,c}.
I choose /dev/sda1 as /boot partition and /dev/sdb1 as swap.
On end of installation somepart of system are flashed to memory.
When I boot after successful installation it will not boot.
Unfortunately I don't see the UBoot output, but when I try boot with
rescue image or start installation again I see the the /dev/sda1 is swap
and not /boot, so the order of disks changed.
Is this change of disk order the problem why system is not booting ? Is
this normal behaviour ?
Sincerely,
Martin

In squeeze, this has been fixed by the use of UUIDs to refer to partitions rather than fragile names like sdX than can change. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

* Martin Minka martin.mi...@gmail.com [2010-05-13 15:27]: does it mean I should follow your installation instruction and choose expert mode installer and choose debian version squeeze ? Will that work ? No, the lenny installer won't do UUIDs. You have to use the squeeze installer: http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/installer-armel/current/images/orion5x/netboot/qnap/ts-409/ -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hello Martin, does it mean I should follow your installation instruction and choose expert mode installer and choose debian version squeeze ? Will that work ? Thank you for you repeating help.
