Hi everyone..
Running 2006.0, 2.6.15-r5 kernel
1U box, SATA boot drive (sda), and an attached USB drive (in theory, sdb) for on-site backup storage.
Problem is--if the USB drive is plugged into the system when it reboots, the *USB drive* comes up as sda.
Somehow I doubt changing /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 is going to fix this.
I doubt using udev rules is going to fix this, either--as, frankly, the system has to be able to boot in order to read them.
Is there any way of getting the USB drive to *not* mount as sda? Ever? :-\ :-/
Thanks in advance,
Best,

You could try building USB suport as a module that would autoload during the auto loading modules phase, then you wouldn't have USB support right away and the sata drive should be sda all the time
