similar post was sent in July with title "Problem with the order of disks", where Michael Schulz had the same problem we have:
SCSI controllers are detected in the wrong order, so that the disk that should be /dev/sda ends up as /dev/sde.
This used to work with SuSE 9.0 where we loaded the module for the first controller with "insmod gdth" passed to linuxrc (we are using pxeboot). Now, with 10.1, the init process of YA starts a "Hardware detection" *before* loading the modules defined in the info file or passed to the command line.
That has been fixed in sles10 (bug #164213). If it's just about usb/firewire disks getting in the way, try booting with 'scsirename=1' (this used to be the default in <10.1 but has been turned off as a result of a bug report). Steffen
