Really - which linux does this?
My HP40L with vanilla Debian 6 and 7. Five disks, four on one SATA controller, one on another. The lone disk sometimes is sda, sometimes is sde. Debian uses the UUID hack so it boots, but this makes it more difficult for me to replace that disk since a new disk will have a different UUID.
I've had the same problem with Ubuntu and a worse one when a kernel update decided to change how the dmraid system numbered metadevices without bothering to tell anyone. I've had even worse problems with RHEL/CentOS/SL where systems were rendered unbootable immediately after installation because the device lists changed between the installation kernels and the runtime kernels.
