I've noticed the same thing with 9.0 and Red Hat 7.3 & Win4Lin. I used to use Win4Lin with RH 7.3, but when I installed SuSE 9.0. the disk order was different. Then when I tried to install Win4Lin, it saw the disks the same way as RH, and in the process, made my system unusable. Both RH 7.3 and SuSE 9.0, use a 2.4 kernel. Michael James wrote:
On 9.1 machines it seems SCSI disks get swapped, compared with 8.1, 8.2, and 9.0.
This is on a Dell poweredge 2650, the onboard Perc3/Di was /dev/sda, now it's sdb.
The Perc4DC PCI card with an external enclosure was /dev/sdb, now it's sda.
Anyone know enough about 2.4 and 2.6 kernels to say if the new kernel is (or isn't) the reason for the swap?
