I am experiencing randomizing. I am using U8.04 64bit and all updates had been applied.
Yesterday, 2008-09-19, my devices were: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/boot/grub# fdisk -l|grep Disk Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes <---------IDE0 100% Windows Disk identifier: 0xc8e067c5 Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes <---------SATA0 U8.04 Disk identifier: 0x94759475 Disk /dev/sdc: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes <---------SATA1 U7.04 Disk identifier: 0x00027610 ...and today, 2008-09-20, after a cold boot my devices are: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/boot/grub# fdisk -l|grep Disk Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes <---------SATA0 U8.04 BIOS , was sdb Disk identifier: 0x94759475 Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes <---------SATA1 U7.04 , was sdc Disk identifier: 0x00027610 Disk /dev/sdc: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes <---------IDE0 100% Windows, was sda Disk identifier: 0xc8e067c5 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/boot/grub# My BIOS boot drive is SATA0=U8.04. Yesterday I set up: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/boot/grub# cat device.map [EMAIL PROTECTED] per fdisk -l and hardware: ide0=sda Windows, sata0=sdb U8.04, sata1=sdc U7.04 [EMAIL PROTECTED] the boot/root drive in menu.list is hd0=sata0=sdb U8.04 (hd2) /dev/sda <- today sdc (hd0) /dev/sdb <- today sda (hd1) /dev/sdc <- today sdb [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/boot/grub# ... and today it is all wrong! As a test, I ran update-grub and all hd0 were changed to hd2; my Windows disk! Could you please advise me on what I am doing wrong?
