On 9.1 machines it seems SCSI disks get swapped, compared with 8.1, 8.2, and 9.0.
This is on a Dell poweredge 2650, the onboard Perc3/Di was /dev/sda, now it's sdb.
The Perc4DC PCI card with an external enclosure was /dev/sdb, now it's sda.
Anyone know enough about 2.4 and 2.6 kernels to say if the new kernel is (or isn't) the reason for the swap?
I doubt it - the order in which SCSI controllers are recognized depends on the order in which the respective modules are loaded. It sounds like you might need to have a look at /etc/modules.conf. This identifies your first or only adapter: alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx try this (YMMV): alias scsi_hostadapter allmyadapters probeall allmyadapters <perc3> <perc4> Also 'man modules.conf'. /Per Jessen -- Let your spam stop here - http://www.spamchek.com
