Hi gang, I have a mystery here. I have a 40 GB hard drive on /dev/hda which contains all my data and software and it seems to be working well. I also have a 10 GB hard drive installed which I have not put to good use yet, and a CD reader/writer that works well using the usual scsi emulation. Here is the mystery: The messages in my dmesg file tell me that the 10 GB drive is on /dev/hdb and the CD drive is on /dev/hdd. However - once the system is up and running, my fdisk program finds the 10 GB drive on /dev/hdd instead of /dev/hdb, and my scsi emulation only works if I assume the CD drive is on /dev/hdb instead of /dev/hdd. In other words, my system behaves differently from what the dmesg file would suggest - the spare HD and the CD drive appear to have changed places. Anybody have any idea why this should be?
