Re: [lfs-support] Q: Is the map between physical SATA disks and GRUB2's hdn fixed?
Bruce Dubbs wrote: I can't really answer your question for sure, but on my motherboard, I have four SATA sockets. In adding a new drive, the designation, sdb, sdc, etc, seemed to go with the particular socket. The BIOS also seemed to map to the particular socket too. I have four SATA sockets too and I have definitely seen the map from socket to /dev/sd? change depending on what hardware was plugged in where. This is interesting - I burned a grub rescue disk and it thought my first hard drive was hd1 , not hd0 ? The root= parameter to linux was still /dev/sda2 , but after booting grub on the disk reports the same device map as before, namely hd0 - /dev/sda . Surprising!
