Bug#412837: jumbles scsi devices on sun x4100
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686-bigmem
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11
Severity: critical
The X4100 comes with an AMI Bios which brings virtual usb floppy and virtual usb cdrom devices.
>From kernel 2.6.18-4 on theses devices are sometimes recongnized before the raid controller
is and scatter the sd names resulting in an non-booting machine.
So the bootdevice is now most times sdj but sometimes sdb.
In 2.6.18-3 the problem never occured and sdb was the bootdevice.
Below theres a extract from dmesg:
