hey Sebastian,
  When you accessing devices using the /dev/sd* names, you are
counting on the same ordering each time. If you want to use a name
that won't change, try one of the aliases under /dev/disk. For
example, I use the following line in my /etc/fstab to mount my usb stick:

/dev/disk/by-id/usb-PNY_USB_2.0_FD_6E59150036E6 /media/usb      vfat    
noauto,defaults 0       0

Linux does not guarantee ordering of /dev/sd* devices, so this is not
a kernel bug.

[1] and really cannot, since driver loading is a userspace thing
