I have an external SATA hard drive plugged via esata to my Debian box,

when my box is rebooted, sometimes the external SATA hard drive is chosen
as internal hard drive, so I have to reboot again.
I have tried to fix this issue with udev, but without success.
I guess that I missed something: how can we fix the trouble ?
Here we go again. This is a recurring problem with the sd* drives
getting assigned in different orders with each boot.
I known that is a recurring problem: unfortunately I had not grab
rigth answer from Google, hance my email to the list.
The solution is to add a label to each of the filesystems on your
drives. You don't have to reformat as each filesystem's utilities
provides a way to do this. For ext2/3 its tune2fs and look for the
lable option in the man page. Once you label everything, you have to
change the references:
1. for boot, the kernel command line has to be root=LABEL=[label]
2. for /etc/fstab, change referennces to e.g. /dev/sda1 to
LABEL=[label].
Then reboot.
Doug.
