Now, my doubt, is how grub relates its names, like hd0, hd1, hd2 to the kernel naming like sda, sdb, sdc... there is a device-map file, but that comes later. What logic is used to create that file? is the file used during boot, or is it simply for our information, as I think?
It is created either manually or by YaST during installation and used by grub when booting. Just edit that file and then try to boot but have a rescue system at hand to undo your changes.
On one machine, I have: (hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3500418AS_5VM2RSY4 (hd2) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3500418AS_5VM2RW2E (hd1) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3500418AS_9VM7ZCQQ On another install in the same machine, I got sda, sdc, sdb (from memory). On another disk of that machine, I have: (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb (hd2) /dev/sdc All done by oS 11.2 Go figure. I tried to change the order to hd0, hd1, hd2, in the order of the connectors of the motherboard... and then it would not boot. Now I leave things as they are, changes are too unpredictable. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
