Use labels for all your filesystems. Then actual disk enumeration doesn't matter anymore. Your old kernel will still run fine. You can even use UUID for swap partitions instead of partition entries. This is my fstab: LABEL=sda_swap none swap sw 0 0 LABEL=ROOT / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 LABEL=TMP /tmp ext3 defaults 0 2 LABEL=VAR /var ext3 defaults 0 2 LABEL=HOME /home ext3 defaults 0 2 This worked on sarge, and it works now. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
