On SUSE today you can boot a system using a udev created name "root=/dev/disk/by-id/351234560000007d0" which is one example of using the udev rules "PROGRAM" call to generate a name. You should be able to cover all your examples with a call-out program knowledgeable of where to find this disk label information and create a device node for them. -andmike -- Michael Anderson andmike@xxxxxxxxxx - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
