It can be problematic still in cases like mine, where usb-storage in the initrd breaks my dmraid setup .. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203244 initrd's script has hard references to sda & sdb, so without consitent naming this would fall apart -- Chris -----Original Message----- From: fedora-devel-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-devel-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Arjan van de Ven Sent: Sunday, August 27, 2006 15:58 To: Development discussions related to Fedora Core Subject: Re: kernel 2.6.17-1.2586.fc6-i686 loads usbstorage before sataharddisk are detected On Sun, 2006-08-27 at 15:42 +0200, borgi2008 wrote: > Hello, > > today i noticed that the kernel 2.6.17-1.2586.fc6 i686, loads the > usbstorage modules before my sata harddisk is detected.

In principle the naming of disk devices shouldn't matter, with mount-by-label and the hal fstab changes.... this kind of asynchronous naming is going to get more and more prevalent, both due to linux changes in parallel hw discovery and the increasing asynchronous nature of hardware in general... so we better have the OS ready to deal with that (and afaik FC5 and later are) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
