** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed:
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 + --- + Architecture: amd64 + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) + Package: linux (not installed) + ProcEnviron: + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_US.utf8 + SHELL=/bin/bash + Tags: maverick + Uname: Linux 2.6.37-020637rc2-generic x86_64 + UnreportableReason: The running kernel is not an Ubuntu kernel + UserGroups: adm admin audio cdrom david david4schwab dialout dip fax floppy fuse joyce lpadmin netdev plugdev sambashare tape video -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569645 Title: 10.04RC system boot random assignment of sda, sdb -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
