I have a problem not strictly connected to Debian, but because I am running Debian, I will ask it here:
I have installed the kernel 2.2.19 from the Woody CD distributed on the Linux Tag in Stuttgart this year. I had to use the special IDE kernel to get my Promise Ultra IDE Controller running. Because I have two harddisks on this controller and a CD ROM on an ordinary IDE Controller, my harddisks are recognized like: hda - disk 1 hdc - CD ROM hde - disk 2 Now I compiled a new kernel myself (2.4.8) and started it. It all works fine, except a very annoying and bad behaviour: the new kernel does recognize the disks in a different sequence: hda - CD ROM hde - disk 1 hdg - disk2 This is no problem for the lilo.conf, where I can specify the root disk seperately, but what to do with /etc/fstab ?? Can I specify the way the disks are detected by the IDE controller ??? Or is that due to the fact, that I have compiled in the usual IDE controller AND the Promise driver ??
