I think this can only be handled in the BIOS itself, probably in the boot order settings. Make sure your primary is set as the first boot device. You probably don't want the RAID array mapped as a possible boot device (not sure, I don't use RAID here, so could be wrong).
OP replies (offlist):
BIOS settings are fine, the system had booted a few times already, without a problem. Since this issue I have tried completely removing the RAID array from the boot sequence but somehow GRUB seems to find it and assign it to sda... which I thought wasn't possible as GRUB supposedly assigns logical naming based on the boot order... guess there is some magic in the code somewhere.
Then check /boot/grub/device.map to make sure the proper devices are mapped to the proper grub device names. Grub isn't assigning any names to anything, it is simply using what the BIOS reports following POST, and there is *no* "magic code" anywhere. -- Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo. -- HG Wells -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
