Among the maxims on Lord Naoshige's wall, there was this one: "Matters of great concern should be treated lightly." Master Ittei commented, "Matters of small concern should be treated seriously."I have been trying to install F14 alpha. When I do, the hard drives are not identified as they have been in the past. I have two hard drives, one with 233GB and one with 149GB. l have a number of partitions on each drive with operating systems on them. The 233GB has always been identified as hd0 in the past. F14 alpha insists it is hd1 with the 149GB being hd0. The dev ids are also messed up. the 233GB has always been sda. Now, F14 evidently starts the sd numbers with one of the USB devices. I have a multi-card reader hard-wired inside the box, and it is apparently labelling its channels as sda - sdd. I have two external USB drives, which until I unplugged them were being identified as sde, sdf, moving the first (formerly second) harddrive up to sdg and the old sda to sdh.here's what they told me (repeatedly):
If I let the installation proceed, it seems to succeed, but I can not find a way to get the F14 alpha system to boot using my long-standing boot loader setup controlled by my current F13 partition. I have tried
title Fedora 14 alpha
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
chainloader +1
using a variety of (hdx,y) attempts, and have also tried several variations of the grub.conf file in the new F14 alpha configuration.
How can I tame this mess?
Thanks,
Gerry Tool

As mentioned in other bug reports, this isn't really a bug. There's no way for"
the drive order to be consistently detected.
