Hi, I have strange problem with sata-disks names/numbering:

Until now, I had 2 sata-disk and one sata-dvdrw, attached
to positions marked as "sata1", "sata2" and "sata3"
in motherboard-manual, and detected as follows:

Mobo:   drive:  system:
sata1   160GB   /dev/sda
sata2   160GB   /dev/sdb
sata3   dvdrw   /dev/sdc
sata4   (none)

Now I installed one more sata-disk, attached to "sata4"
position on mobo. But this changed the way how other
disks are detected:

Mobo:   drive:  system:
sata1   160GB   /dev/sdb
sata2   160GB   /dev/sdc
sata3   dvdrw   (not_detected)
sata4   500GB   /dev/sda

I tried to switch cables, attached that new 500gb disk
into sata1/sata2/sata3/sata4 connectors, but it is still
the same! This last disk is always detected by system
as /dev/sda, no matter in which connector I attach
its cable. And my system does not want to boot because
devices in /etc/fstab does not correspond now with disk
names (what was /dev/sda1 before, is now /dev/sdb1, etc.).

Strange thing, in bios-screen devices are detected
correctly, the last disk as "Fourth SATA drive"...

How can I fix this mess? How can I force this last
disk to be /dev/sdd?

Jarry
