Plausible explanation. However you should also look at the INITRD_MODULES= line in your /etc/sysconfig/kernel file. This specifies kernel modules that should be loaded early in the boot process, before
Ah yes, very true. I never use a stock SuSE kernel and almost never use an initrd, so it didn't occur to me to mention that.
Trying to summarize is this the issue/reason when ide-devices is "found" before SATA devices (ASUS P4C800E-Deluxe board).
And what about the case with Promise ide-controllers they're also detected before drives on regular controllers (read controllers on the main board) ??
This is probably the cause of the problem on my system. I have the hard drives connected to the Promise controller. In Red Hat 7.3, they were seen as hde & hdg. Now, with SuSe 9.0, they're hda & hdc. Then, when I try to install Win4Lin, they appear as hde & hdg again and clobbers the system, when I try to boot.
