Adrian, There may be an easy way to specify this as a boot parameter, but I don't know for sure. Another option is to build a kernel with the QLogic driver built-in , and the Symbios driver as a module. That way the QLogic driver will be loaded first and those disk will be numbered first.
Good luck ! Jaap.
