Hello, I have the following problem: when I insert a new SATA disk, it moves "in front" of my existing SATA disks and the machine cannot boot anymore. Here, the details: My box has two SATA disks, one to boots from and one with data. I want to insert a third one and migrate the data SATA disk to the new SATA disk (the boot disk is untouched). Somehow the new disk is faster to negotiate with the motherboard than the others and always becomes sda. This messes up the configuration of grub, which now tries to boot from the new disk. The order to plug them into the motherboard has no effect. No matter how I plug them in, the new disk is always first. My question: Is there a way to give persistent names to SATA disks which are already used during boot? In that fashion, I could give persistent names and configure grub to boot from my SATA boot disk, no matter what other SATA disks there are. regards, einar P.S.: I remember having had such problems under windows ten years ago. Where a new disk made a mess out of your drive letters. Funny, how old problems are still not solved... :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+help@opensuse.org
