Bug#443197: linux-image-2.6.22-2-amd64: Kernel sometimes fails to detect ide disk correctly



This one time, at band camp, Michael Burschik said:

Boot with a LABEL= argument, or some other way of making sure you have
persistent device names.  The kernel has never really guaranteed
persistent device names, it's only become more obvious recently.

I'll leave it to the maintainers what they want to do with this bug.
