Is there a way to boot a Gentoo/Knoppix CD and make it use the PATA drivers? That way I can boot it and see exactly how it will name them and what drive is what without actually changing anything at all. Is there a boot option "noide" or some other switch I can use?
You do the labeling *before* you switch to the new kernel. Once you get it working correctly with your current kernel, then you can upgrade to the new ATA drivers and it will just work (which is the whole point of this exercise.)
