Hi all, I hava a linux system (2.6.18) configured to boot from ide (disk on chip) and mount root filesystem from an usb pendrive. This is ok while the system assign the same device name to the pendrive (/dev/sdx) as configured on bootloader configuration file (lilo.conf). Some times, when the system boot with other usb storage device connected, the name assigned to the device with root filesystem is changed and the system is unable to mount root filesystem. I need to find a solution to identify the device and change system configuration to mount root filesystem. The system may have one or two usb storage devices connected and /etc/fstab makes references to device names (/dev/sdx) and it is not possible to label the others filesystems. As a solution I'm trying to swap device names, by modifying scripts in initrd, but I cant find how to change /proc/partitions to reflect changes (I also need to change /dev/disk/by-* links). Other solution may be to direct the kernel device scanning to name devices as I need, but I dont know if that is possible (and how).
