Recently I added an old PATA HD to my system, which previously consist of
two SATA HDs. Ever since then, the order of my SATA and PATA are keep

NB, it is not that I can't boot, I can boot just fine, but half of the
time the boot process will drop to that single user PANIC mode

If you are using the commonly used GRUB2, then consider yourself lucky:

What the proper way to update debian/changelog, to increase the least

Forgot to ask, should the dch be used before dpkg-source -x *.dsc or
after, to streamline updating the debian/changelog, to increase the least

If after, how about the directory already created by dpkg-source?
Thanks

Hmm... that might be the way. How can I do that?
I remember that I have to specify nfsv3 on the client/nfsmount side to
get the straight-mount work for my uid and gid.
