Description Orion Poplawski 2007-04-24 17:56:57 UTC 
Description of problem:

During install, pata_pcmcia is loaded before ata_piix so my ATA PC card becomes /dev/sda and the boot 
disk becomes /dev/sdb.  Can't imagine that this is desired.  Don't know if anaconda or the kernel controls 
this ordering, so I'm filing against anaconda initially.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
11.2.0.55-1

It's largely based on things like where on the PCI bus controllers are.  We've
got a hack to push some things to the end; I'll add pata_pcmcia to that list.  I
will then proceed to beat my head against the desk :-)

Thanks for the report :)  This'll be in post-test4

  Can we get something into anaconda to force a particular module to load first?
 I've got a disk server with 3 different controllers (ata_piix, sata_promise,
and sata_mv in this case) and really need force ata_piix to load first as that
holds to boot disks in order to do reliable automated upgrades and installs.
