I have four SATA sockets too and I have definitely seen the map from socket to /dev/sd? change depending on what hardware was plugged in where. This is interesting - I burned a grub rescue disk and it thought my first hard drive was hd1 , not hd0 ? The root= parameter to linux was still /dev/sda2 , but after booting grub on the disk reports the same device map as before, namely hd0 -> /dev/sda . Surprising!
