I'm trying to install SuSE on a new computer that has 2 ide hard drives and 1=
Promise Ultra66 drive.
The thing that I am trying to accomplish is having the ultra66 drive be /dev/=
hda. Currently it is /dev/hde. With the ide cables, I can physicallyange the =
order the block devices are assigned.
Is there a way to set the kernel to change the device order on boot-up?

Can't you go to your BIOS and select the "boot up" hard-drive? IIRC, I did th=
is=20
once... maybe not?!

You could leave it as it is. Just write down where you have your
partitions since it's not the familiar hda through hdd. The only problem
you might have is with LILO since it can only work with hda or sda. Other
than having a small DOS partition and booting up with LOADLIN, I'm not
sure how to resolve that particular problem.

With some mobos, the Promise card will appear after the onboard IDE controlle=
r. AFAIK, if you set your BIOS to boot from SCSI it will take the Promise con=
troller first (the Promise will appear to some BIOSs as a SCSI card even thou=
gh it is IDE). My machine seems to take the Promise in preference to my mobo =
IDE so I haven't had to do this.=20
Hope this helps.=20
