Hi,
I had a slight problem with upgrading from RH8.0 to RH9 because the
installer was smart enough to load firewire drivers, but the device
assignment went to them before my root,boot, and swap scsi devices. I
got an error messages after my existing RH8.0 was detected on sdd2,
saying that swap device on sda2 was having an error. I disconnected the
firewire devices, which I used to always load with a script in rc.local,
and it now seems to be progressing OK.
Two questions:
1) Is there a way to solve the upgrade problem with directives given
somewhere in the install/upgrade process, as opposed to disconnecting
the drives?
2) Will I have a problem with RH9 when I try to set up the firewire
devices and leave them attached during a reboot? I was picturing that
RH9 may load the firewire drivers ahead of my root, boot, and swap
system scsi drives in the same way during a normal bootup and cause
confusion with the swap device in a similar way. If so, what can I do to
force the devices to be assigned to /dev/s[abcd][1234] in a consistent
order, particularly to avoid the boot and swap device confusion that
seems to have appeared above?
Thanks for any help or direction to proper sources of information for this.
