Perhaps Sata ports have no unique > position identifier, such as "I am Sata port #1", ... ? On someone else's PC, I noticed that there did seem to be some order to which port was first. But I wonder if your problem is down to something like: One of the drives is ready first (Fedora 9 seems quite slow at scanning devices, and spews out numerous errors in the meantime - at least it's slow to boot up, and theres lots of dev errors when you plug in USB drives post-boot). One of the drive partitions is set up to be "bootable" and the other not, and that affecting which is first. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
