It's incoherent to the extreme, both in the weird descriptions as well as the wrong terminology. /dev/sda is a device name not a partition name. Even /dev/sda1 isn't a partition name, it's a device name referring to a partition. You don't boot a hard drive. You select a drive/partition to boot from. Just changing how you "use" a drive changes the designation? By that description, using my hard drive more than I did yesterday could be construed as the problem... Try something more understandable, like: Changing the drive you boot from alters the device names for other drives. Adding additional drives can change the device names for other, even fixed, drives to change. To be logical, and coherent, it really shouldn't have that effect. I don't know where to begin with "the Linux is a /dev/sda". You should really cancel that report, and start again with a coherent bug report, and pick a more likely cause behind the problem. I'd guess udev would be a better item to first bugzilla it against. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
