You seem to have scsi local disks so you should be able to edit /etc/modules.conf and add a number on the end of the alias for the hba then remake your /boot/initrd file with /sbin/mkinitrd this will then load the module for you local drives first so they should turn up as the first drives. Heres the entries in my modules.conf file alias scsi_hostadapter1 megaraid alias scsi_hostadapter2 megaraid alias scsi_hostadapter96 qla2200_6x options scsi_mod scsi_allow_ghost_devices=1 Hope this helps -- Mr Mark Bradbury RHCE Senior System Support Officer (UNIX) Information Technology & Management Support Charles Darwin University | CRICOS 300K Ph office +61 8 89 466167 Mobile +61 417860591 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
