Yes, you can use the /dev/disk/by-id/* stuff in fstab, I do this for different hard drives that I slap into a cold-swap bay on one of my machines.
Check out this page http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html for tips on writing your own udev rules. You can use the info returned by udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/XXX to write rules to force udev to call your root disk /dev/hdc (or whatever you want...) cheers, loserMcloser --- bardo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 2006/9/28, Aaron Griffin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > You might be able to just boot with the persistant > device names... > > /dev/disk/by-id/* or something - you'll need to > boot to find something > > that works in /dev/disk > > > > You can then try this as your kernel root= > parameter, but at the > > moment I'm unsure if klibc-udev contains the > persistant disk naming (I > > hope it does). > > I'll try this, thanks.
