I had a XenExpress 3.2 cd handy to boot in this same machine, and one thing I note is that it assigns the same hardware/drives significantly differently.
XenExpress 2.6.16.38 Feisty 2.6.20.13 hd[a-d] Promise Controller 1 hd[a-d] Onboard VIA controller hd[e-h] Promise Controller 2 sd[ab] Promise Controller 1 hd[i-j] Onboard VIA controller sd[cd] Promise Controller 2 The boards BIOS has on option to set the hard disk order, and it is set with as follows: onboard master: 1st onboard slave: 2nd promise1 master: 3rd promise1 slave: 4th promise2 master: 5th promise2 slave: 6th Don't know if this helps, but thought I would provide it as additional info. Is there a chance that perhaps the kernel code in the newer Feisty kernel that reads the BIOS drive order is provided as a module and somehow isn't included in my initrd image??? If so, what is the name of that module please??? -- Feisty beta1 raid is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
