How would you propose doing this? I'm sure modern distros with an initrd/initramfs probably already do some sort of root detection. Doesn't fix the fstab issue, but I suppose this could be auto-generated too. > The problem is there's no plan B in case of any troubles except rename > everything back again to boot an old kernel. I doubt this matters for distributors, as they'll simply switch over when you upgrade the distro, and the earliest supported kernel will be the one that shipped with the newer version. I accept that it's a bit of a drag, but it's better to have a standard naming convention for all disks, isn't it? Glad this is working for you. -- Cheers, Alistair.
