Hide Forgot
Description of problem: On aparently random reboots, Fedora kernel changes IDE HDD from 'sdb' (imho it should be hda), to 'sda', causing problems in boot Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora rawhide updated until yesterday How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot computer 2. have fsck abort while trying to check 'sda1' (supposedly /boot) 3. check that 'sda' is not SATA drive 1, being instead IDE drive 1 renamed. 4. reboot 5. sometimes it will work Actual results: -IDE hdd is using ide-scsi -Drive ordering is changing randomly Expected results: -IDE drives should be hd* as with previous releases - most important: drive ordering should not change randomly Additional info: after putting LABEL="/boot" in fstab and using e2label to label correct drive, I always get my system booting, sometimes as 'sdb', sometimes as 'sda' (checked when asking for LUKS password)
(In reply to comment #1) > Actual results: > > -IDE hdd is using ide-scsi > -Drive ordering is changing randomly The kernel is using the libata drivers, not ide-scsi. Drive order changing randomly is expected and the installer sets up fstab using labels and/or UUIDs to deal with that.
