Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-k7 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12 In the past I have usually compiled my own kernel, mainly out of interest. However, I don't really have time for that anymore, and would like to switch to a precompiled kernel. My PC has an Adaptec 29160N with a single hard disk attached. Device detection during boot takes quite a long time -- easily 15 seconds. It also has an internal USB memory card reader, which appears as four USB storage devices. The problem is that my SCSI disk is usually "sda", but with the current precompiled kernel, the USB devices appear first -- so the SCSI disk becomes "sde", etc. I'll attach a boot log (captured via serial port). My homebrew kernel doesn't suffer from this problem because the Adaptec driver is compiled into the kernel image, there's no initramfs, and the USB storage drivers are modules. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. -- graham
