Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 10.04 RC
System has two hard drives. 15 partitions on SATA 1TB drive. 12 partitions on
ATA/IDE 120GB drive.
Each boot U1004RC assigns random drive letters. 1TB to sda or maybe 1TB to sdb.
My large Data partition on sda5 shows as sdb5 often, about 30% of the time on
boot.
So I changed /etc/fstab to use UUID for all partitions. Still this happens.
I play with lots of Linux OS (27 partitions, 3 for Data). I have not seen this
anywhere but 10.04.
The truly maddening part is root always shows as /dev/sda11, but if Data shows
as sdb5 then changes made to root are stored in /dev/sdb11 not /dev/sda11 !!!!!
The first step each boot is a terminal window and 'df' to see if the drives
are backwards again. And I changed the desktop background as an obvious error
flag.
Expected: each boot the drives always have the same device ID
Seen: random assignment of sda, sdb
