As I tried to indicate in earlier emails, I don't actually care how grub works in this case. It was originally meant to illustrate the other people's workflows and mine are not the same. If they have a solution that works for them, that's great. I want my MMC and MMCBLK device numbers to be sane and consistent to help me parse through dmesg and sysfs. If it happens to also make it easy / possible to specify a root filesystem using "mmcblkN" that's great and I'll probably take advantage of that. I'm very sorry if those using SATA and ATA disks don't have a way to get sane and consistent device number ordering. I really am. ...but just because they don't have a well defined ordering doesn't mean those of us using MMC should have to suffer. ...and I don't think giving a sane ordering to MMC devices hurts anyone, does it? -Doug -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-mmc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
