How are you configuring the kernel modules to operate your disk controllers? This situation is usually typical of having more than one set of disks from which the system can boot. I always statically link the driver that operates the controller that connects the root device and modprobe the drivers that operate the other disk controllers. This ensures that the controller for my /dev/sda device is probed first and its drives get "a", "b" and "c" in /dev/sd?, and those letters are assigned in device address order on the controller. - -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* dwn...@ntlworld.com (David W Noon) *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAldu3fQACgkQRQ2Fs59Psv9+DgCg0bhVfl8qw9JG9KF2655vgd5y GHUAoJpVpMFqCvro/LIFAjHAMkKdXb8V =HIdO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
