So, uh, here's where I plug /dev/disk/by-id/* symlinks. Combine with an initramfs, and it doesn't matter what the kernel decides to randomly rename your device files on any single boot... :-P But even without an initramfs, the only thing you have to worry about having to manually change is the root= arg. (Or by-uuid for luks encrypted volumes, since luks provides a sane uuid and you really want to make sure you're unlocking the right volume. The uuid setup doesn't work for everything though.) > That's better than I got. I had consistent panics during boot. > >> Does using CONFIG_SCSI_DEBUG=m let the tests work ?
