Package: linux-image-2.6.16-2-em64t-p4-smp
Version: 2.6.16-14
Severity: serious
Justification: 3

Hardware:
ASUS P5WD2
Maxtor SATA 300G
DELL monitor with 4 usb card readers FPW2004

Configuration:
Maxtor hard drive connected to SATA port 1 (sda)
The ATA bus is configured in BIOS to AHCI mode.

Problem:

The kernel randomly swaps the /dev/sda to /dev/sde device and back on boot-up.
The confusion occurs when the kernel spontaneously 
assigns /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd to the USB based card 
readers.
If the kernel selects /dev/sda (SATA IDE) as the boot drive all is good.
If the kernel assigns /dev/sda to one of the USB card readers, than the AHCI 
bus SATA drive gets /dev/sde and the error is"  "Waiting for no boot device"

P.S same thing occurs with   2.6.17-1-em64t-p4-smp

The device names are not considered stable. Use udev.
